MINISTER FOR EDUCATION AND TRAINING

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NUMBER 151

Schools and Colleges - Maintenance Audits

MS McRAE - asked the Minister for Education and Training on notice on 20 February 1996:

1) When was the last audit made of the maintenance needs of all ACT schools and colleges.

2) What was the result of that audit.

3) What follow up action was taken.

MR STEFANIAK - the answer to Ms McRae's question is:

Construction and Maintenance Management Services carry out regular inspections of schools as part of a cyclical program and assess the maintenance needs for schools each year. From this process, the department plans its annual program of specific and planned maintenance.

In addition, each school is provided with funds for minor maintenance which is allocated mainly on the basis of age, size, enrolment and building structure. These funds enable them to meet minor repairs and maintenance works up to $1,500.00 per job.
