Students at Airey’s Inlet Primary School are a step closer to having the facilities they deserve, with construction on a $40,000 maintenance upgrade due to get underway shortly.
Labor Member for Western Victoria, Gayle Tierney, today announced that Deca Building Projects has been awarded the construction contract.
The Andrews Labor Government is building the Education State so that every Victorian student gets the opportunity for a great education and every community has access to a great school.
The project is part of a $2.5 billion investment by the Labor Government to improve classrooms, upgrade facilities and build new schools across the state.
This school building boom has created more than 1,000 school upgrades and 56 new school projects across the state, supporting almost 5000 construction jobs to ensure all Victorian families have access to a great school no matter where they live.
