Education Department Asbestos Register

In reply to the Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (5 July 2023). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. B.I. BOYER (Wright—Minister for Education, Training and Skills): I have been advised of the following:

The department's asbestos register identified asbestos within the buildings being demolished at Seaview Downs Primary School and Pimpala Primary School prior to the works commencing. These buildings have gross building areas of 3060m2 and 2055m2 respectively and the extent of the rebuilds and extensive presence of asbestos have contributed to the significance of the early planning process with complex staging programs required to ensure that schools remain operational, and the asbestos removed safely, with minimal impacts to service delivery and learning programs.
