House of Assembly Fifty-Fourth Parliament, Second Session (54-2) 54 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Parliamentary Committees Public Works Committee: Hallett Cove School Redevelopment Public Works Committee: Hallett Cove School Redevelopment Mr CREGAN House of Assembly Kavel Mr CREGAN (Kavel) (11:14): I move: That the 80^th report of the committee for the Fifty-Fourth Parliament, entitled Hallett Cove School Redevelopment Project, be noted. Mr Speaker, as you are aware, Hallett Cove School is a reception to year 12 school located in the City of Marion. The school was allocated funding of $10 million as part of the Department for Education's capital works program. It has certainly been a pleasure, as Presiding Member of the Public Works Committee, to see this project brought forward and developed. On 14 May last year, the committee held a hearing for the project and examined written and oral evidence in relation to the proposed works. Hallett Cove School requires additional accommodation to support expected growth in student enrolments, including the transition of year 7 students to high school. When complete, the proposed redevelopment works at Hallett Cove School will deliver a total school enrolment capacity of 1,500 places by 2022. Aspects of the proposed capital works include new building extensions to provide food technology laboratories, visual arts studios, general learning areas and additional staff support facilities and areas. It also includes a new canopy that will connect to buildings to create a new middle school hub, various refurbishments to existing buildings on the school site, demolition of a number of buildings and a site-wide upgrade to the wireless fidelity system. The committee is satisfied that the proposal has been subject to appropriate agency consultation and, as a consequence, meets the criteria for the examination of projects set out in the Parliamentary Committees Act 1991. Based on the evidence considered and pursuant to section 12C of the Parliamentary Committees Act 1991, I report to parliament that the Public Works Committee recommends the scope of the public works that I have detailed this morning. Motion carried.
