The Honourable Robert Schwarten
Public Works Minister Robert Schwarten today announced funding of more than $15,000 to completely repaint the exterior of Block A at Woolooga State School.
Mr Schwarten said the painting project would include the repainting of the flag pole, front school sign, tank and stands and the area under the building and hoods.
The funding also allowed for the front veranda to be re-nailed.
“This funding is great news for the Woolooga State School community,” Mr Schwarten said.
“This funding demonstrates the State Government’s commitment to properly maintaining public infrastructure for the benefit of the community.
“Work is expected to start in the near future and every effort will be made to minimise disruption to classes.”
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.
He said QBuild – the State Government’s construction and maintenance division – would manage the project.
