1. The estimated cost of relocating the demountable from Ginninderra High to Palmerston is $95 000.

2. The cost estimate of $95 000 includes landscaping, refurbishment and site establishment costs. Other options are currently being examined by my Department and no decision has been made at this stage to proceed with the relocation of the Ginninderra demountable.
