Sarah MANSFIELD (Western Victoria) (14:10): (529) My question is for the Minister for Education. The Winchelsea Primary School council is urgently seeking a new school. Winchelsea is served by one state primary school. The current facilities are over 60 years old, and maintaining these is proving costly and difficult. Over $30,000 is required this year alone to deal with things like plumbing and electrical issues, termite maintenance and building and repairs, which can be difficult due to areas containing asbestos. The local community is growing rapidly, and the school will reach capacity in the next few years. Minister, will you prioritise a renewal of the Winchelsea Primary School so that students have access to appropriate facilities?
