A re-elected majority Rockliff Liberal Government will invest $25 million over the next four years to deliver a major upgrade to Dodges Ferry Primary School, as part of our 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania’s Future.

Premier Jeremy Rockliff said education is the single most powerful driver for improving economic and social outcomes in Tasmania including health, life expectancy, happiness and productivity.

“We are already investing a record $8.9 billion into Government schools, skills and training, which includes the largest investment in education infrastructure in decades,” Premier Rockliff said.

“Our Liberal Government has significantly invested in education infrastructure over the past 10 years and we will continue to provide Tasmanian students with the contemporary facilities they need to thrive in school.

“If re-elected, we will deliver a $25 million major upgrade to Dodges Ferry Primary School.

“This major upgrade, which will be completed by 2028, will include new classrooms and modern learning spaces, toilets, facilities and staff areas, as well as a dedicated space for outside-of-school hours care.”

The Premier thanked the School Association for its continued advocacy and support for these important upgrades.

“Only a re-elected majority Liberal Government will provide Tasmanian students with the education infrastructure they need and deserve.”
