House of Assembly Fifty-Second Parliament, Second Session (52-2) 52 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Parliamentary Committees Public Works Committee: Lake Windemere School Redevelopment PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE: LAKE WINDEMERE SCHOOL REDEVELOPMENT Mr ODENWALDER House of Assembly Little Para Mr ODENWALDER (Little Para) (11:35): I move: That the 438^th report of the committee, entitled Lake Windemere School CPC-7 Redevelopment, be noted. The committee has received a proposal to provide a new children's centre, together with parking, upgrades to the existing administration area, three general learning areas and the demolition of the existing CPC. The project proposed by the Department for Education and Child Development includes construction works at the Lake Windemere School at an estimated cost of $6.8 million, excluding GST. Redevelopment of the school site is to accommodate the maximum of 600 primary school students. The facility provisions are summarised as follows: demolition of two buildings and rehabilitation of this site; construction of a new children's centre facility, together with associated car parking and landscaping; creating greater flexibility in existing learning areas, enabling 21^st century ICT in all facilities, including providing stable learning spaces for two regional special classes; and upgrading the administration area by creating new work areas, a sick room, and offices, plus a new street front presence. The proposed project aims to provide modern, efficient and functional areas for the delivery of education to the community of Salisbury North. The key drivers for the redevelopment proposal are to provide these facilities to better support the school's curriculum and to improve the accommodation at the school, and to avoid continuing maintenance at the existing building structures. The project is scheduled for completion in June 2013. Given this, and pursuant to section 12C of the Parliamentary Committees Act 1991, the Pubic Works Committee reports to parliament that it recommends the proposed public works. Mr PENGILLY House of Assembly Finniss Mr PENGILLY (Finniss) (11:36): Opposition members support the project. Motion carried.
