The Garran Primary School modernisation and expansion project has reached another milestone.
The school’s preferred design has been finalised and DA approval is being sought.
Construction is expected to commence in late April 2024, pending DA approval.
This project forms part of the ACT Government's Infrastructure Plan education update.
Once complete, Garran Primary School will have capacity for 975 students from preschool to year 6.
The design was completed through collaboration between head contractor Joss Construction, the Education Directorate and Major Projects Canberra.
The result will be a modern, sustainable and inclusive facility to support all students.
It includes flexible spaces that will foster student development and learning.
The school will also have a new modern gymnasium, new canteen, hard courts, better parking and green spaces to create a vibrant and dynamic environment.
The school will continue to operate once construction begins.
Safety will be paramount, with a construction site fence fully enclosing the building site at all times.
The Garran Primary School modernisation and expansion project is part of the ACT Government’s investment in new and upgraded ACT public schools.
With the Woden region continuing to see high enrolment growth, the project will help meet the area’s current and future needs.
Garran Primary School first opened in 1967 and currently accommodates more than 600 students.
