Noosa MP Sandy Bolton was thrilled to announce that the Noosa District State High School – Pomona Campus would soon receive a new state-of-the-art hall, with an updated budget of $13 million, following a Sod Turning ceremony she held on Monday with the Education Minister Grace Grace.
“Noosa District State High School is a vital part of our community and have just celebrated 60 years of educating our young adults, and it is essential that current and future students have access to modern, well-equipped facilities to support their learning and development,“ Ms Bolton said.
The new hall will provide a modern, multi-purpose space for students and teachers to use for a wide range of activities, including assemblies, performances, sports, and community events.
Originally budgeted at $5,750,000, the project has been expanded to include additional features such as 52 new car parks, a fire system upgrade including booster relocation and two holding tanks, and an electrical system upgrade with a pad mount transformer.
“It is wonderful that we have been able to secure this funding and I would like to thank Minister Grace Grace and the team from the Department of Education for their continued support.”
Minister Grace said “the Palaszczuk Government is committed to providing world- class education facilities right across Queensland.
“This $13 million new hall will provide a space for the whole campus to come together out of the elements and build a better social connection throughout the school.”
School principal, Stacy Wilmore said “this is an exciting development for our school and our specialised Junior Secondary campus. The new hall will provide much- needed facilities for our students and the wider community.“
It is expected to reach practical completion in December 2023.
