The Rockliff Liberal Government's $15.1 million redevelopment of Cambridge Primary School is gathering pace with the release of the construction tender for Stage 1.
Minister for Education, Children and Youth, Roger Jaensch, said the release of the tender follows the launch of artist renders for Stage 1 of the works last month.
"Stage 1 works include the development of a new two-storey building containing four general learning areas, refurbishment of existing facilities, and building extensions for modern learning environments," Minister Jaensch said.
"This will give students and staff access to break out spaces, sensory rooms and covered outdoor areas going forward."
Subject to the outcomes of the tender process, Stage 1 works are expected to commence in early 2024.
Liberal Member for Franklin, Dean Young, said the scope of works has been shaped by extensive consultation with students, staff, and the broader community.
"The Rockliff Liberal Government is focused on providing Cambridge students and staff with modern, high-quality learning facilities," Mr Young said.
"Our continued investment in education infrastructure not only provides vital improvements to student learning environments, it also grows the Tasmanian economy through additional jobs during planning and construction."
The redevelopment delivers on a 2021 election commitment by the Tasmanian Liberal Government and part of the Government's $255 million investment in new education infrastructure across the State, which also includes the $6.5 million redevelopment of Lauderdale Primary School, $21.6 million for upgrades to Hobart City High School, and $24.9 million for the revitalisation of Cosgrove High School.
