The Minns Labor Government has cancelled two planned schools in Chatswood and St Leonards.
With a growing population, the previous Liberal Government under Dominic Perrottet announced and planned a primary school on the corner of Mowbray Road and Pacific Highway, and a new development St Leonards Education Precinct for preschool to Year 12 students.
The primary school, which has had $25 million invested in planning, is not being pursued by the state government. St Leonards Education Precinct has been deemed unnecessary given the capacity of existing surrounding schools.
‘This is a shocking, short-sighted decision that I condemn and will fight every day until we have a state government that delivers the schools we need,’ said Member for Willoughby, Tim James, in a statement.
