The NSW Government has today revealed the first look at the Melrose Park Public School redevelopment and the new Melrose Park High School.
The fast-growing community of Melrose Park can finally see what the redevelopment of Melrose Park Public School will look like before construction starts next year, with renders now released.
Making the announcement today, Deputy Premier and Minister for Education and Early Learning Prue Car said the upgrades and the new school will help cater to the area’s increased population.
“I am pleased to share designs for the major upgrades at Melrose Park Public School and the new high school with the local community,” she said.
“This community has grown significantly in recent years and it is important that young Melrose Park families know there are high-quality local public schools their children can attend.
“After 12 years of neglect by the Liberals and Nationals, we are working to ensure growing communities have the essential school facilities they need so every child can access a high-quality public education.”
The redevelopment of Melrose Park Public School, to be delivered by Term 1, 2027, will include new classrooms, a new library, a new school hall and covered outdoor learning area, new staff administration facilities and a new public preschool to cater for young families in the area.
The upgrade is designed to help the school cater to the area’s booming population, which increased by more than 30 per cent between 2016 and 2021.
Currently, just over 170 students attend the school, with the upgrades set to increase the school’s capacity to more than 700.
Early indicative masterplans of the new public high school in Melrose Park have also been released, which will be located next door to the existing Melrose Park Public School.
Construction on the new school will commence next year, with up to 700 students set to begin their high school careers at the new facilities in 2027.
Member for Parramatta Donna Davis welcomed the announcement.
“Our community is excited about the ‘big reveal’ of the designs for the redevelopment of Melrose Park Public School and the new high school, to support this fast-growing population,” she said.
“Our rapidly growing community will soon benefit from this important primary school project, and we all look forward to the seeing the finished result.”
