(1-3) Revenue from the sale of surplus land at Allenswood and East Greenwood will help fund the new Girrawheen Primary School. As the new school abuts Penistone Reserve which is 11.4ha in area, this provides an opportunity for a shared use arrangement with the City of Joondalup without comprising the needs of the new school.
The proposed 3.01ha site will accommodate the current student enrolments at both schools and any increased student enrolment in the future. Up to 650 students could fit comfortably on this site without impacting on major play spaces.
