The Honourable Robert Schwarten
Public Works Minister Robert Schwarten today announced more than $25,000 in funding to replace the chain wire fence around the Pre School at Cherbourg State School.
“The school community, in partnership with QBuild, identified that the existing fence should be replaced with a 1.5m high urolock commercial fence,” Mr Schwarten said.
“I am pleased that funding from the Department of Public Works’ emergency maintenance fund – is available to allow this work to happen.
“It will mean increased safety and security for the pre schoolers, their parents and teachers.”
Mr Schwarten said the work would be programmed to be undertaken as soon as possible with every effort being made to minimise disruption to classes.
“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 – will manage the project.
“This funding demonstrates the State Government’s commitment to properly maintaining public infrastructure for the benefit of the community.”
