YANCHEP
DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOL — CAPITAL WORKS
671. Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH to
the Minister for Education:
I refer to the announcement in November 2012 that Yanchep
District High School was to receive $10.5 million for new facilities, including
two new science laboratories, two design and technology rooms, a performance
art room, a visual art room, student toilets and change rooms, and a staff
study area.
(1) Can the
minister confirm whether any of these promised works have started?
(2) If so,
what work has commenced and when is it expected to be finished?
(3) If no work
has been commenced yet, why not; and will the minister confirm that the new
facilities will be provided and when?

I thank the
honourable member for some notice of this question.
(1)–(2)
No construction has commenced, but some planning has been undertaken.
(3) The 2013–14
budget focused on savings and reform initiatives, including a review of major
infrastructure projects and the state's asset investment program, to
deliver the government's expenditure priorities and financial
management objectives. As a result, the capital works planned for Yanchep
District High School have been deferred. These works will be considered as part
of future budget processes.
The rapid population growth in the
northern corridor has been recognised with the opening earlier this year of
Butler College, and new primary schools to open at north Butler and north
Yanchep in 2014. The state government remains committed to providing
high-quality education facilities in this area.
