DEFENCE EXAMINING ALL OPTIONS FOR AMBERLEY
STATE SCHOOL
Defence is undertaking a new examination of all options for the future of Amberley
State School.
Defence is exploring all alternatives, including the option of leaving Amberley State
School in its current location.
These options include assessing the feasibility of adjusting the passive augmentation
component of the base redevelopment, including the possibility of realigning the
perimeter security fencing of the base to go around the school, allowing the school to
remain where it is.
Defence will continue to work cooperatively with the Queensland Department for
Education and Training on this issue, to ensure that the best outcomes are achieved
for the Amberley community as quickly as possible.
