Building Better Schools for Parramatta
As part of the NSW Government's plan to rebuild public education, the 2025-26 Budget is
delivering $3.9 billion for new and upgraded schools in Western Sydney. This targeted investment
will ensure growing communities get access to a world class public education.
Project overview
The NSW government is planning an upgrade to Rydalmere East Public School to accommodate the
future needs of the growing communities across the Rydalmere area.
The upgrade will include:
- 3 new support learning classrooms
- new state-of-the-art preschool to replace the existing preschool
- new administrative facilities
- refurbishment of the existing classrooms
- refurbishment of the existing library.
Progress summary
Planning is underway, and a Project Reference Group (PRG) has been established. The PRG includes
school leadership representatives and is an advisory group that makes recommendations to the
project team on the design and operational requirements for the school.
Planning for this project involves considering the demographic and educational requirements for
the school and conducting site investigations and assessments.
Next steps
Over the coming weeks and months, planning activities will include:
- continuing due diligence investigations such as surveys, traffic and transport studies,
- bushfire assessments and other studies that aid and inform the design of the school upgrade
- refining the master plan
- engagement with educational leadership and other government agencies as part of the planning process.
A community information session will also be held later this year to share designs and more details
about the upgrade with the community.
