Local schools in the Far North are benefiting from the Palaszczuk Government’s continued investment in school maintenance.
Member for Cook, Cynthia Liu said the Palaszczuk Government was committed to delivering world-class educational facilities for all Queensland students.
“Our Government is delivering a state wide Infrastructure Investment program valued at more than $778 million during 2017-18,” she said.
“This funding will help state schools continue to address maintenance needs and ensure students have access to quality education facilities.”
“The Palaszczuk Government’s school maintenance program is not only building better schools in the Cook electorate but also providing valuable jobs for tradies and training opportunities for apprentices.”
