The Garran Primary School expansion and modernisation project is progressing well.

The Development Application (DA) for the school's design has been lodged and is now open for public comment.

Construction is expected to begin in term 2, subject to the outcome of the DA process.

Once complete, Garran Primary School will have capacity for 975 students from preschool to year 6.

The transformation will not only benefit students and staff but also the entire Woden community.

New features include:

• all-new learning areas
• specialist learning environments
• improved administration facilities
• new external learning and play spaces
• a new double gymnasium
• a new library with a roof garden
• hard courts, green spaces
• state-of-the-art facilities for community use
• improved parking
• safer access to the school away from the hospital campus.

View a flythrough showing how the school will look once work has been completed.

The school will continue to operate once construction begins.

Further community information sessions will be held later this term.
