Proposals are in the pipeline for science centres, performing arts spaces and new sports complexes.
Three of Sydney’s private schools are planning to spend a combined $419 million on major building upgrades, with proposals in the pipeline for science centres, performing arts spaces and new sports complexes.
Over the past five years, many large private schools have used the “state significant development” approval pathway to bundle building projects together in master plans rather than apply for several upgrades via local councils. University of Sydney education professor Helen Proctor said the proposals planning more than a decade ahead showed schools were confident in future enrolment numbers.
“The cost to deliver the above facilities over the coming decades is not additional to that investment – it simply wraps all upcoming capital improvements into a single strategic plan,” he said. A spokesperson for the school said the second pool in the aquatic centre would be dedicated to community use and learn-to-swim programs.
