We are planning a new education facility for the North Melbourne community, which will help cater for growing enrolment demand in our inner city.
We have found a site at the Abbotsford Street housing estate, and received funding for planning. The land will become available by the start of 2020 as part of the North Melbourne Public Housing Renewal Project.
In the short-term, North Melbourne Primary School will use the site to expand and upgrade its learning facilities to meet increased student demand.
Ahead of 2020, we will consult with the broader community and educators to develop the long-term vision for the education facility, which will also include a performing arts centre.
