(1) Minor cracking has been identified on the art room wall. Investigations showed this may relate to lack of storm water drainage around building footings in the immediate area. The storm water downpipes have since been diverted and the cracks are being monitored to ensure they have stabilised.
(2) The proposed school will have sufficient permanent classrooms that will accommodate the current enrolment and the projected enrolment for 2010.
(3) An art room will be provided. Computers are provided in each learning area and  a computer area is likely to be incorporated into the library.
(4) (a) A hall is not provided.
(b) 60 square metres.
(c) 330 square metres.
(5) All buildings will have covered verandas. Covered links between buildings are not provided under the current generic Primary School brief.
