NT Government says new Parap Preschool is one step closer

Another major step towards the delivery of a new $10 million preschool in the Northern Territory has been taken with the demolition tender released for the existing 50 year old Parap preschool building. 

Parap preschool is currently vacant, with the preschool being set up at Parap Primary school while construction of this new facility gets underway. The tender will facilitate the demolition of the existing preschool building and outdoor play areas in preparation for new construction works to begin, with funds allocated in the Territory Government’s $4 billion infrastructure budget.

The redevelopment of this integral community infrastructure will prioritise contemporary learning facilities, seamless access to the preschool, parking and drop off areas.

“The community of Fannie Bay is now one step closer to receiving their new $10 million fit for purpose Parap Preschool,” Minister for Fannie Bay Brent Potter said. 

“High-quality, early childhood education is extremely important to a child becoming the best of their ability, as such it is only appropriate for the Territory Labor Government to continue investing heavily into early childhood education.”

The works are a part of a wider commitment by the Territory Labor Government to continue to upgrade and improve education infrastructure.
