Coalition matches Labor commitment, while Londonderry candidate is confirmed Premier

The Coalition has come to the party, matching Labor’s commitment to build a new high school in Jordan Springs if re-elected.

NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet also believes that the seat of Londonderry can turn blue as he announced local resident Samantha Talakola as the Liberal candidate.

The Premier visited Jordan Springs Public School last Friday with Minister for Education and Early Learning Sarah Mitchell to tour the completed Stage 2 of the primary school. Mitchell said it was a “logical step” to build a high school in the area that is growing with more families choosing to live there.

“Construction will start in the next term [of government], we are absolutely committing to that, we are going through the process now of identifying land and there are a few different options that we can look at whether it is through acquiring land, it might be a VPA agreement with developers or there might be existing government land we can use,” Mitchell said.

“For an area like this we would look to build a high school with capacity ultimately of about 2,000 students because we know it is a growing area and again if we do that in stages it will be part of the planning process as we go along.”
