Project summary

Objective

School Infrastructure NSE (SINSW) Property team undertakes land acquisition for the purpose of developing new school facilities. The due diligence undertaken for any proposed acquisition includes consideration of land topography and its potential impact on the feasibility of a particular site. This work will continue to be formalised and capture din due diligence reports and assessments.

The SINSW Property team also accepts leases and licences to either occupy corporate office space where typically the landlord enters into a formal lease agreement with Property & Development NSW (PDNSW) / Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (DPIE) and also there are circumstances where the Department of Education (DoE) licences school space to external parties for example Before and After School Care services.

Accessibility will continue to be fully considered as a formal part of the process.
