WORK STARTS ON WERRIBEE SCHOOL UPGRADES

Students at Manor Lakes P-12 College are a step closer to getting the facilities they need for a great start in life, with an architect appointed to design the school’s exciting upgrade.

Member for Werribee Tim Pallas announced that Conrad Gargett has been appointed to design the school’s $9.4 million upgrade.

The upgrade will build on our previous work to upgrade and expand Manor Lakes P-12 College. With this latest project, we will replace temporary facilities with permanent buildings that will allow the school to offer places to an extra 400 local students.

In the past seven years, the Victorian Government has invested more than $10.9 billion in building new schools and more than 1,700 school upgrades, creating around 13,500 jobs in construction and associated industries. It is now ahead of schedule in its commitment to open 100 new schools by 2026, with 62 new schools opening between 2019 and 2024.

The Labor Government is building the Education State to ensure that every student can access a great local school and get a quality education.
