WA Labor has pledged to spend a record $745 million on building new schools and upgrading aging ones, if they’re re-elected in March.
A new school has been promised in Treeby East which is slated to open in 2028.
And in 2027, Piara Waters West will get a new primary school, to take the pressure of existing schools in one of the fastest-growing areas in the state.
Planning funding will also be provided to lay the groundwork for six future schools, including new primary schools at Anketell, and Byford North.
Byford Primary School has also been promised $13.5 million for a new early childhood block, as part of the $286 million School Infrastructure Fund.
Labor has said it will also contribute $83 million for smaller infrastructure projects, including classroom refurbishments, sporting facilities, play equipment, student services upgrades and other minor works.
From that pool, $1.5 million will be used to redevelop the outdoor hard courts at Jarrahdale Primary, $25,000 to seal Eton Farm Primary’s driveway, and $60,000 each will be given to Grovelands Primary, Clifton Hills Primary, Pioneer Village School, and Armadale Primary for a variety of infrastructure upgrades, with Neerigen Brook Primary getting a cool $70,000 to restore their sensory room.
