MINISTER FOR HEALTH, EDUCATION AND THE ARTS

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION-ON NOTICE N0. 295

School Restructuring - Playground Equipment

Mr Wood - asked the Minister for Health, Education and the Arts on notice on 22 November 1990:

For schools that will close under the Ministers restructuring proposals (a) what arrangements will be made about the relocation of playground equipment; and (b) what cost will be involved in each case.

Mr Humphries - the answer to Mr Woods question is:

At Holder, Hackett, Cook and Lyons Primary Schools, existing playground equipment consists of galvanised metal or treated timber structures, which have generally deteriorated due to age and lack of adequate maintenance. As much of the existing playground equipment fails to comply with current Australian Standards, relocation of the existing equipment at closing schools is considered uneconomic.

The equipment at Curtin Primary, which was installed in 1988, is to be relocated to South Curtin as part of the building refurbishment,at a cost of approximately $7 000.
