It’s all systems go for Mt Maria College Petrie as plans to establish three new classrooms and extend its existing covered sports area receive approval.
The Catholic co-educational high school plans to construct three new classrooms that will allow it to accommodate 39 more students this 2022 from the current 501.
The three new classrooms will have a total new gross floor area of 205 sqm and are expected to ease overcrowding currently being experienced in the existing learning spaces.
The subject site has a total area of 7,188 hectares with multiple frontages including the Anzac Avenue frontage.

Along with the three new classrooms, a minor extension of the sports hall will also be undertaken which will include a 64sqm storage area and storage space. The existing sports field will be relocated to “capture a more favourable solar aspect in accordance with best practice design.”
