We are upgrading and modernising Sunshine College's north and west campuses.
During demolition at the west campus, we found a significant amount of asbestos. Safely removing this asbestos cost the project budget approximately $5.5 million.
After consulting with the college and the builder, and in light of this significant unforeseen cost, we are deferring construction of three buildings at the west campus – the performing arts centre, the gym and the Years 7-8 learning building.
Completion of the deferred works will be subject to future State Budget funding.
We remain on schedule to deliver a dedicated STEM facility for both campuses, and a library, learning environments and administration areas for the west campus.
