The Tasmanian Liberal Government is delivering on our commitment to provide more facilities to support agricultural education in the State.
A request for tender has been issued to engage a contractor to deliver a $2 million agricultural learning upgrade at Bothwell District School.
The works will include construction of a general learning area, an agricultural food science area, a farm produce processing area, amenities, storage, and an outdoor learning area.
Construction will commence in the new year and, subject to the outcome of the tender process, will be completed in late 2023.
Our Government is continuing to deliver the largest State infrastructure investment for schools across the Forward Estimates in more than 20 years.
This includes delivering on our 2021 election commitment for new agricultural facilities at Bothwell District School.
Our Government is committed to providing pathways for learners to careers in the primary industries, with major upgrades at Jordan River and Sheffield School Farms completed earlier this year.
We are also investing $2 million to upgrade agricultural facilities at Campbell Town District High School.
Our continued investment in education infrastructure not only provides vital improvements to student learning environments, it also grows the Tasmanian economy through additional jobs during planning and construction.
