Work Begins on New School in Murrumbateman

Temporary fencing and bore hole testing started at the new primary school in Murrumbateman last week. From Tuesday 4 May to Friday 7 May, work crews conducted bore hole testing on the site using a truck-mounted drill rig to make these bore holes. This machinery is roughly as loud as a commercial lawnmower. An excavator is also being used onsite, and is operated by a qualified contractor who is accompanied by a safety officer.

Member for Goulburn Wendy Tuckerman celebrated the beginning of work on the new school, saying “The community will benefit from this new school immensely and I am excited to see the work beginning”.

Once complete, the new school will include flexible learning spaces, a library, hall, canteen, special program unit, covered outdoor learning area and administration and staff facilities, accommodating up to 370 students.

Works will take place during the hours of 7:00am to 5:00pm, Monday to Friday and 8:00am to 1:00pm, Saturday. No work will take place on Sundays or public holidays.
