SCHOOLS — PUBLIC SCHOOL REZONING AND SALES

412. Hon Alison Xamon to the Minister for Education and Training:

I refer to the rezoning and disposal of sites previously used as schools across the metropolitan area, and I ask:

(a)  for each of the last 10 financial years, will the Minister please:

(i)  identify which public school sites have had their zoning changed to a use other than school; and

(ii)  identify which of these sites have been sold; and

(b)  for the sites that have been sold, has the money been used for a particular purpose, or returned to general revenue?

Hon Sue Ellery replied:
