The state government has announced it has secured land to build a future primary school in Tarneit.
Education Minister James Merlino said the land, close to Polly Parade, would become the site of Tarneit Missen House Primary School.
Tarneit Missen House Primary School will have space for 525 pupils with a co-located campus offering 50 places for pupils with disability.
Tarneit MP Sarah Connolly said the school was set to open in 2023.
“I’m excited that the community’s vision for a new primary school in Tarneit is turning into a reality, and that students will get to attend a brand-new school with first-rate facilities,” she said.
The state government did not release details of how much it paid for the land.
The state government provided $491.565 million in the 2021-22 budget for the construction of 13 new schools in Victoria, including one in Manor Lakes, one in Werribee and two in Tarneit.
The budget also provided $276.4 million to purchase land for 14 future schools to meet growing population needs.
