The Queensland State Government has announced that work will commence on a new change room, field lighting and minor works at Browns Plains State School.
Minister for Planning Cameron Dick outline that the local school community will have better access to these sporting facilities and was important to continue progressing community infrastructure projects during the current pandemic.
“If our state keeps building, keeps pushing ahead with construction projects in our communities, then we’re going to keep creating jobs”.
“I was able to approve this project through a Ministerial Infrastructure Designation process, which streamlines the approvals needed to get shovels in the ground faster.
“Planned works include construction of single-storey change room facility, amenities, storage, a multipurpose space, a canteen, and four new field lights around the existing oval”.
“These new facilities will be put to great use by the fantastic kids at Brown Plains State School, and others in our community.” Mr Dick said.
Mick de Brenni, Minister for Sport outlined the project is part of the government’s $12 million Community Use of Schools program, which gives Queensland communities greater access to school facilities.
“If this pandemic has reminded us of anything, it’s the critical role that community sport plays”.
“Through our Community Use of Schools program we’re helping break down some of the barriers to participation, with at least 12 new sporting infrastructure projects set to be delivered in Queensland schools by 2022″.
“The lockdown has created the opportunity to deliver this project quickly, which means it will be less of an inconvenience during the construction phase.” Mr de Brenni said.
Grace Grace, Education Minister, outlined that construction was to commence in the coming months.
“Although school sporting activities have currently been paused, we’re getting to work on this project now so students can enjoy these new facilities sooner”, Ms Grace said.
