Western Australia's government plans to seize land in East Perth for a $150M primary school, facing disagreements with the City of Perth.
Western Australia's government plans to seize land in East Perth for a $150M primary school, despite disagreements with the City of Perth. The government will use drafted legislation to take the land valued at $40M, which was previously in negotiation for potential sale. The construction will be the largest investment in a primary school in the state, benefiting inner-city families and addressing the lack of public schools in East Perth. The repeal of an act preventing land development will also unlock over $27M in housing development potential. Despite the anticipated economic, social, and educational benefits, discussions with Perth's Lord Mayor remain unresolved.
