Structural Changes at Hindmarsh

In reply to Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (29 July 2016). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Higher Education and Skills): I have been advised of the following:

I am advised the overall expenditure for the Partnerships Performance Review Room was $207,484.10. This included $76,411.50 for room refurbishment costs associated with all demolition, floor coverings, electrical, plumbing, painting, air conditioning and structural works. A further $29,794.47 was spent on furniture fit-out. $101,278.13 was spent to supply and install ICT equipment software and hardware.

The space was formerly a science laboratory teaching space and included fixed work pods, benches, vinyl flooring, movable walls and sink facilities. This needed to be changed in order to transform the space into an appropriate room for partnerships training and development.
