PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE: KENSINGTON SPECIAL SCHOOL RELOCATION

Mr ODENWALDER (Little Para) (11:11): I move:

That the 443rd report of the committee, entitled Kensington Special School Relocation, be noted.

It is proposed to relocate Kensington Special School to the Charles Campbell Secondary School site. The school has a funding allocation of $10.6 million, together with $250,000 from the federal government BER, giving the project a total budget of $10.85 million. The project will deliver the following for the school: six purpose-built general learning areas, with shared withdrawal areas and staff preparation areas for storage; a new admin area, with support facilities including kitchen, workshop and assisted student amenities. It will provide the opportunity to integrate students with the new Charles Campbell R-12 campus, which will enable appropriate support, and I think it is a very good thing. There will be car and bus parking which will be safe and secure and improve staff and student circulation.

The project is expected to be completed by September 2013. It is a great project and, given this, and pursuant to section 12(c) of the Parliamentary Committees Act, the committee reports to parliament that it recommends these proposed public works.

Mr PENGILLY (Finniss) (11:12): Once again, the opposition supported this project in the committee. Once again, it was another interesting program and another interesting development, so we have pleasure in supporting the program.

The SPEAKER: Member for Little Para, you are very busy this morning.

Mr ODENWALDER (Little Para) (11:12): Thank you. I think I am the only one speaking.

Mr Pengilly: Good committee man.

Mr ODENWALDER: As it is with committees; and I do want to thank the opposition for their support on these projects today.

Motion carried.
