There are no plans for a new primary school in the Northern Beaches or a new high school in Airlie Beach-Cannonvale, despite data showing both are needed in the future.
Queensland Schools Planning Reference Committee mapping conducted in June last year found one new primary school may be required between 2021 and 2031 in the Northern Beaches.
It also found a further primary school may be required between 2031 and 2041 for the Northern Beaches and one new high school may be needed between 2021 and 2031 in Airlie Beach-Cannonvale.
Despite this, in a response to a question on notice from Whitsunday MP Amanda Camm, Education Minister Grace Grace said there were “no plans for a new primary school in Blacks Beach or a new high school in Cannonvale at this time”.
