The Honourable Robert Schwarten
Public Works Minister Robert Schwarten today announced $15,000 of funding to replace damaged roofing, gutters and downpipes at Palmwoods State School.
Mr Schwarten said the funding – from the Department of Public Works’ emergency maintenance fund – was good news for the school community.
“A recent inspection of Block H at Palmwoods School identified that part of the roof as well as some guttering and downpipes were rusted and needed to be replaced,” Mr Schwarten said.
“I am pleased this funding will allow the damaged roofing, guttering and downpipes to be removed and replaced.”
Mr Schwarten said the emergency maintenance fund was developed to complement existing maintenance programs and specifically to undertake projects that arose in the course of the year or that were unable to be completed by the school because of the magnitude of the cost.
Mr Schwarten said QBuild – the State Government’s construction and maintenance division – would manage the project.
“This funding demonstrates the State Government’s commitment to properly maintaining public infrastructure for the benefit of the community,” Mr Schwarten said.
