The need for the multi-purpose hall at the school has been felt by the community and students and a Development Application for the hall has been lodged with the council.
The application is currently being assessed by planning staff and the assessment report will be presented to the Southern Regional Planning Panel for determination, the Yass Valley Council paper for this month's meeting reveals.
The application has been lodged by DFP Planning Consultants on behalf of School Infrastructure NSW (SINSW) and the proposed development comprises:
- Demolition of basketball court with shade structure and seven demountable classrooms
- Removal of four trees
- Site excavation
- Construction of new multi-purpose hall
- Associated landscaping, stairwell and circulation works
The need for a new hall was recognised before the elections last year with a $9 million pledge made by political parties for the construction of the hall.
The NSW Budget 2021-22 focused on education and a $7.4 million hall upgrade at Yass High School was a part of the budget in which students will enjoy a new multi-purpose hall that will provide a full-size basketball court, storage and amenities.
