Croydon electorate
David HODGETT (Croydon) (14:41): (264) My constituency question is for the Minister for Education, and I ask: Minister, what are the Department of Education’s plans for the former Croydon Community School site at 177 Mount Dandenong Road, Croydon? As the minister will be aware, Croydon Community School moved to their new site on Croydon Road, Croydon, in 2022, leaving the old site vacant. The original building at the Mount Dandenong Road location was built in 1889 and is protected under a Victorian heritage overlay. It has significant historical and architectural significance to Maroondah, and therefore it needs to be preserved. To avoid this site being the target of vandalism, it is important that it does not remain vacant much longer. Minister, I ask again: what are the Department of Education’s plans for this site?
