The Minns Labor Government is committed to the demerger of the Murwillumbah Education Campus in consultation with the community.
The Member for Lismore and I have had an initial, fruitful and clarifying meeting with the NSW Department of Education about the needs of each of the four school sites. The Department, in collaboration with myself and the Member for Lismore, is finalising plans for consultation with the community.
I want to be clear that the government is committed to the demerger of the high school and the retention of the two high schools and the two primary schools as separate schools. We are now working to deliver that commitment in a timely and inclusive manner.
The department has stopped infrastructure-related activities on the Murwillumbah Education Campus project and will work with the community on supporting the four schools into the future.
The Member for Lismore and I will engage in a community consultation process to ensure the disruption to students and staff is minimised during this period.
I look forward to visiting soon to meet with the community and the local member.
