WILSON PARK PRIMARY SCHOOL - MAINTENANCE

I thank the member for some notice of this question. The Carpenter government is continuing to address the neglect of government schools under the previous coalition government with a record $1 billion investment in maintenance and capital works during this term of office. I am pleased to report that Wilson Park Primary School has been allocated $98 511 for 2007-08 under the state government’s Fixing our Schools program. Tenders have gone out for the replacement of floor coverings and external painting. The use of the remaining funding is being discussed with the school.
