Projects vary from new halls, libraries and classrooms with spends of $3million and sometimes more not uncommon.

Avalon Public School is getting a new hall which, in view of the fact that the school already has a hall, will be used as a multi-function centre with particular emphasis on the school's music and arts programmes. It will also see six classrooms refurbished. Cost $3.1million.

Newport Public School gets a new library and three new classrooms which will replace three demountable buildings. The new library will replace an older sub- grade library in a space not purpose built. Newport received $3 million.

Other works in hand include a new canteen and extensions to the staff rooms.

Bilgola Plateau Public sees $3.1million being spent on a hall and two classrooms. When completed the existing small hall will be demolished.
