Peter Garrett AM
Federal Member for Kingsford Smith
Minister for the Environment, Heritage and the Arts
Peter Garrett today announced that 33 Kingsford Smith schools will receive $5,019,785 for minor infrastructure and refurbishment projects under Round One of the National School Pride (NSP) program.
Mr Garrett said the NSP program is delivering the first phase of the Rudd Government’s $14.7 billion Building the Education Revolution (BER) investment.
“It is great to see local schools and the local community benefit from the Government’s $14.7 billion investment in vital school infrastructure and jobs.
“The $1.3 billion National School Pride program will deliver much needed funding for school maintenance projects and support local jobs,” said Mr Garrett.
Construction and maintenance work will commence as soon as possible, with many of the National School Pride projects planned to begin this month.
Mr Garrett encouraged local schools to submit applications for Round Two which closes on 8 May 2009.
Today’s announcement starts to deliver on the BER which is a key element of the Government’s $42 billion Nation Building and Jobs Plan to stimulate local economies and invest in important infrastructure for the long term.
