The NSW Government is delivering new and improved educational facilities at schools in the Sutherland Shire with work progressing on the $240 million Metro and Regional Renewal Programs.
The program is investing in more than $8 million across the Shire, including 13 projects in the Cronulla electorate.
Each project includes a government co-contribution of between 50 to 80 per cent for school capital improvement projects, including covered outdoor learning areas, covered walkways, playground, oval and court upgrades and improved staff and administration facilities.
The program is delivering more modern facilities for our students and staff to support quality learning in our schools.
It also delivers improvements to help students enjoy sporting and play activities, as well as facilities such as covered learning areas and walkways to assist school communities to operate effectively in all weather conditions.
Local schools have identified these projects as their highest priority infrastructure needs.
The program is good news for businesses in the Shire with schools using local contractors and suppliers to do the work wherever possible.
The renewal programs are supporting more than 2,600 jobs across regional and metro NSW.
The NSW Government is investing $7.9 billion in schools infrastructure over the next four years, continuing its program to deliver 215 new and upgraded schools to support communities across NSW. This is the largest investment in public education infrastructure in the history of NSW.

Natural🌿remedies do work. If they didn't, we wouldn't have used them for thousands of years. And, pharmaceutical companies wouldn't be studying plants, taking extracts of them, and patenting them as drugs.this is not a claim or lies I was totally cured from a deadly disease and neuropathy by Herbalist His remedy is surely the best. I suggest you try him out if you are having any health challenges and also get cured too, give him a try 👇👇 Dr osamu herbal home

Thanks for visiting - it was a pleasure having you meet the locals.
Hi Mark, very disappointing to see you let down your federal counterparts for no good reason. You say Australia can't wait for nuclear power,when Australia emits a immaterial 1%of the earth s carbon. A zero net Australia will change nothing. So why would you do what you did?

Gymea Bay Baths are a magical spot - but now increasingly afflicted by water pollution and litter, including because of the huge growth in its popularity as a fishing spot.
I caught up with local residents a few days ago to discuss the issues and possible solutions. ... See MoreSee Less

Have the fisheries look into if it is truely a king fish breeding ground. If so, ban it!
Undersized fish being taken there daily and contact with fisheries results in 0 action. The place is always covered in fish guts and garbage relying on locals to clean up tourists mess.
🌞 Good Afternoon, 🌍 Congratulations, 🙏 HaVe A GrEaT DaY! #GreAt_PhotOs, 👍 #Amazing_Work, #GreAt_LeAdeR 👏
