The development application for the new public school in Whitlam has been lodged, marking a key milestone in the project.
The ACT Government has committed $76.8 million to deliver a new school, which is expected to open for the 2026 school year.
Once open, the school will span preschool to year 6 and include an early childhood education and care centre.
It will accommodate up to 780 students with 130 childhood education and care places.
The new school will help cater to the growing population in Whitlam and will be in the heart of the new residential suburb and community.
It will be built adjacent to John Gorton Drive on the corner of Hazel Hawke Avenue and Alice Moyle Way, alongside local shops.
This location provides convenient access to the local neighbourhood via nearby public transport stops, bike paths and footpaths.
