The state government has announced that plans to upgrade two schools in Melton have progressed, with construction companies appointed for both projects.
On March 15, construction firm H Troon was announced as the lead designers on the new Melton Christian College campus on Coburns Road.
The following day, Alchemy Construct Pty Ltd was handed responsibility for the $9.65 million upgrade at Melton Specialist School.
The Melton Specialist School will receive a modernised major learning space and a new senior learning building.
Melton has been identified as one of Victoria’s fastest growing areas by the National Growth Area Alliance (NGAA).
In November 2021, Star Weekly reported that NGAA research was concerned that the region would face mounting issues if key social infrastructure demands were not met to accommodate its rising population.
To meet growing population demands across the state, the state government has pledged to open 100 new schools by 2026.
“These local upgrades are part of the school building boom that is happening right across Victoria,” Melton MP Steve McGhie said.
Both Alchemy Construct and H Troon are Victorian based construction entities.
