Recommendation 4.
Detailed population projections for the Tuggeranong Valley together, with an explanation of the provision of schools in the south Tuggeranong area, be made publicly available before work on the Bonython school is commenced.
Government Response:
The Minister for Health, Education and the Arts will shortly release a comprehensive package of information outlining school planning proposals for southern Tuggeranong. The package will include population forecasts for each surburb, identify school catchment areas and provide enrolment profiles for each proposed school. This information is expected to be available before construction commences on the new primary school at Bonython.
Recommendation 5.
The Department of Education fully explores the advantages of school facilities and resources being geographically placed so as to offer the greatest community access and thus allow for more sharing of facilities and resources.
Government Response:
Town Planning practice generally has as one of its objectives the location of schools as close to the geographic centre of the planned catchment areas. In many cases, this has meant that schools and outdoor play equipment are sited close to neighbourhood ovals, shops and community facilities. In southern Tuggeranong, the practice has varied slightly so that some schools can cater for larger catchment areas. Having schools located central to their catchment areas is a feature which is being applied widely in the development of Gungahlin. In doing so, the Government believes this will provide the greatest opportunity for community access and thus allow for more sharing of facilities and resources.
