The Planned Maintenance Program provides funding for high-priority maintenance.
It ensures schools can undertake essential work to classrooms and other school buildings and fixtures, including fixing roofs and replacing windows, resurfacing floors and painting, as well as external landscaping works like improving pathways and lighting.
A specialised evaluation process ensures maintenance support goes where it is needed, when it is needed.
In 2022, the Planned Maintenance Program provided 12.8 billion in building new schools and more than 1,850 school upgrades, creating around 17,400 jobs in construction and associated industries.
The Andrews Labor Government is building the Education State so every student can access a great local school and a quality education no matter where they live.
