Schools, Demountable Facilities

In reply to Mr BOYER (Wright) (29 July 2021). (Estimates Committee B)

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

Twenty-two 'modular' buildings have been funded, which include:

51 general learning areas, specialised laboratories, and workshops

teacher preparation rooms

meeting rooms and storerooms

ambulant and access toilets

ramps, decking and covered outdoor learning areas

furniture allowance; and

associated site works including site plan updates.

The overall cost per unit will be dependent on site-specific requirements which can include:

transport costs (ie Greater Adelaide vs rural regions)

nearby existing infrastructure which may result in more challenging cranage operations, relocation of existing services

requirement for demolition of existing infrastructure

local topography; and

state or local heritage listings.
