Investment: $7.985 million
Status: Design Phase
Croxton School is just getting better and better! The amazing Principal Bev Fegan has been working hand in hand with me as we’ve delivered new classrooms, therapy areas and a sensory play areas for students and staff.
Minister Merlino joined me in 2019 to officially celebrate the completion of Stage 1 of the school’s masterplan. The $5 Million project delivered new therapy, learning and play spaces. We also surprised the school with an additional $10,000 for a Permaculture Food Forest!
It’s been wonderful to see the new outdoor sensory play area come to life as well, with an additional $198,000 grant from the Andrews Government. Bryant Alsop Architects have been appointed to design the outdoor sensory play area.
In our 2020-21 State Budget, we secured almost $8 million in funding to deliver Stage 2 of the school’s upgrade and modernisation plan as part of Victoria’s largest ever single investment in upgrading specialist schools, with 39 sharing $388.8 million.
In February 2021 Peter Eliot Architects were appointed to design Stage 2 and McColl Smith Projects were appointed as builders to deliver he project in December.
Looking forward to seeing even more good things happening at Croxton!
