Minor upgrades for major safety overhaul

STUDENTS and staff at Orrvale Primary School are set to benefit from upgraded carpark facilities.
Member for Northern Victoria, Mark Gepp MP announced before Christmas that works are underway at Orrvale Primary School.

Construction firm, Modus Projects, which has a base in Shepparton will deliver extensive carpark upgrade works.

The State Government has provided $375,625 towards the project which will extend the parking area, as well as improve the school’s traffic management system to ensure the safety of students and the entire school community, particularly during drop-off and pick-up times.

Mr Gepp said, “We’re making sure that our schools have the best facilities, our classrooms have the best teachers and that every child is given every chance to succeed.”

“This investment will ensure the safety of students and staff at Orrvale Primary School whilst supporting local jobs.”
Much of the State Government’s funding for new schools and significant upgrades has been financed by the Minor Capital Works Fund. Projects through this fund will be progressively delivered, with all projects to be completed by the end of 2022.
