The site master plan for the new Legana Primary School has been released for public comment as well as the issuing of a Request for Tender for an early site works component.
Local architects Cumulus Studio developed the master plan for the new primary school at 612 West Tamar Highway in partnership with the Department of Education, the West Tamar Council and other stakeholders.
Extensive community and stakeholder consultation has helped shape the development of the new primary school and its surrounds including workshops with educators, students from nearby schools and the broader Legana community,
The new school will include a library, multi-purpose hall, school gardens, shared community sporting facilities and an onsite community oral health clinic.
The draft intake area for the new school is expected to be released for consultation shortly and the successful contractor for the early site works component is expected to commence in 2022.
These works will include construction of the temporary access road and car park, and pave the way for the major building works to begin later in 2022 following a separate tender process.
The new primary school at Legana is part of the Tasmanian Liberal Government's record investment in new education infrastructure across Tasmania to help our learners to thrive.
