The Honourable Robert Schwarten
Public Works Minister Robert Schwarten today announced more than $13,000 in funding to undertake an external repaint of Block A at Moresby State School.
Mr Schwarten said the funding – from the Department of Public Works’ emergency maintenance fund – was great news for the community.
“This work will give the building a fresh new look and will enhance the look of the entire school,” Mr Schwarten said.
“Work will be undertaken as soon as possible with every effort being 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.
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.
