School students will benefit from the activities on offer at Burrumbuttock’s Wirraminna Environmental Education Centre due to a major expansion.
Federal Member for Farrer Sussan Ley said the upgrade means the centre in the middle of reclaimed native woodland, can increase its opening hours from one to five days a week.
“The $76,000 project included insulation, double-glazing and air-conditioning,” she said.
“We’ve also installed telecommunications and data lines and have paved the way for future extensions of the centre’s solar power system.”
Minister for Regional Development, Territories and Local Government John McVeigh said the upgrades created eight jobs during construction and will support six permanent positions. “This increase in staff will enable the centre to open from Monday to Friday.”
