(i) All schools were eligible for funding under this element of "Building the Education Revolution" program. The Commonwealth Government determined funding allocations by school enrolment. Architectural consultants visited each school to discuss the most recent Building Condition Assessment report and determine priorities and scope with school principals.
(ii) All eligible schools with a primary aged enrolment (pre-primary to Year 7) and education support schools were required to submit applications to the Department by 13 March 2009. The Commonwealth Government determined notional funding allocations by school enrolment. The Department assessed applications to ensure compliance with Commonwealth priorities. Consultation with schools occurred with Department Project Officers and Building Management and Works appointed architects.
(iii) All schools with secondary student enrolments were eligible to apply for funding under this element of the "Building the Education Revolution" program. Funding under this element will be allocated via a competitive process to those projects that satisfy the eligibility criteria. Unlike the other two elements of "Building the Education Revolution", the funding will not be allocated to the State on a school by school basis relative to student enrolment.
Applications from public schools in Western Australia were required to be submitted to the Department by 1 May 2009. The Department was required to categorise each application as high, medium or low level of priority and submit a shortlist to the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations in Canberra.
