North Lakes School
Brisbane

The Queensland Government recently acquired a 6.5ha plot of land in North Lakes (25 kilometres north of Brisbane’s CBD). North Lakes is a rapidly growing master planned community. The site is being developed as a Prep-7 State School to be rolled out over three phases. The construction of North Lakes School provides this growing community with the necessary school places and with enhanced levels of amenity.

The first phase of North Lakes School is due to open in 2009 with a target enrolment of 350 students. However, the school’s masterplan accommodates facilities for over 700 students. Once fully complete, the school will employ 80 staff members.

Cadence Australia’s role is to assist the Queensland Government (Project Services) with project management and project design support services. This includes intensive consultant and contractor liaison.
