3542 - WALLSEND DEMOUNTABLE BUILDINGS

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Education
  1. Which schools in the Wallsend electorate have demountable buildings?
  2. For each school:
    1. How many demountables are there?
    2. How long have these demountables been used as classrooms?
Answer -

The Department of Education and Communities uses demountable buildings to meet changing accommodation needs in schools due to increased enrolments, emergencies such as fires or natural disasters and accommodation needs arising from capital works or maintenance projects being conducted at schools. Demountable buildings are regularly moved on and off school sites to meet changing needs and the number of demountable buildings on a school site is subject to change.

To list the number of demountable buildings on individual school sites would be a diversion of resources from the Department's core business, the provision of public education.
