Springbank Secondary College

In reply to Dr CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (5 March 2020).

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Minister for Education): I have been advised of the following:

No amount of the $10 million funding allocated to Springbank Secondary College has been spent.

Separate from the capital works redevelopment project at Springbank Secondary College, demolition work and minor works have been undertaken at the school. The works included demolition of Building 01 E which was reported in April 2018 as being unsafe to occupy. During the demolition works, asbestos removal was required on multiple occasions. Minor refurbishments to other areas of the school were provided, including a toilet upgrade, painting and carpets. The works were completed in March 2020 with a total cost of $1,764,734.
