THE state government has allocated an extra $6 million to be spent on school maintenance – an allocation that will enable the backlog of works required on schools in the Lake Macquarie electorate to be cleared by July next year.

Member for Lake Macquarie Greg Piper welcomed the funding.

“Our local schools are extremely important assets and I’m very pleased they’re getting some long-overdue attention,” Mr Piper said.

“I know that schools such as Lake Macquarie High School have a maintenance backlog that will cost several million dollars to clear. This money, which will come in addition to existing maintenance funds, will get maintenance and repair works under control.

Schools will welcome this funding for things such as carpet replacement, painting, roof and playground works.

- MP Greg Piper

“We have three public high schools and 25 primary schools in the electorate and I’m certain that every one of those schools will welcome this funding for things such as carpet replacement, painting, roof and playground works.
