MAINTENANCE FUNDING FOR TWO NOOSA SCHOOLS
Public Works Minister Robert Schwarten today announced almost $10,000 in funding for maintenance work at two Noosa schools.
Mr Schwarten said a recent inspection of the schools by QBuild officers identified the need for the work.
“I am delighted that funding from the Department of Public Works’ emergency maintenance fund is available to enable these projects to be completed,” Mr Schwarten said.
“The Toilet Block at Kin Kin State School will be repainted externally and sections of uneven concrete paths will be replaced at Tewantin State School.”
“The work will be completed as soon as possible with every effort being made to minimise disruption to classes.”
Mr Schwarten said the funding demonstrated the Bligh Government’s commitment to properly maintaining public infrastructure for the benefit of the community.
“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.
