Southern Metropolitan Region
John BERGER (Southern Metropolitan) (12:54): (2327) My constituency question is directed towards the Minister for Education in the other place. One of the proudest things that we have achieved in government in the field of education has been our capital investment program. This has involved delivering 100 new schools across the state. It has also involved 2300 school upgrades. One school in my constituency that was the beneficiary of these upgrades was St Kilda Primary School. In May’s budget we announced that St Kilda Primary School would be receiving $13.1 million in upgraded sporting facilities, including a new gymnasium and new school oval. Importantly, the Allan Labor government committed to the further full funding required for these upgrades, unlike the proposal from the member for Prahran for $12 million, which would have left a big black hole in that project. Alongside St Kilda Primary, this government also announced funding for upgrades to Boroondara Park Primary School and Cheltenham East Primary School, as well as targeted works at Melbourne High School. My question to the minister is this: how much total capital investment is the Allan Labor government making in public schools in my electorate in the 2026–27 budget?
