​New state school for Brisbane’s inner west

WebPartZone1_1
PublishingPageContent

​​​​​​​​​​A new state school is being planned for Brisbane's inner west for Prep to Year 6 students.

In 2021, community consultation showed support for the former Toowong Bowls Club site as the proposed location for the new state school. However, ​​unprecedented flooding in 2022 and further community consultation means the department has now deemed the former Toowong Bowls Club site as no longer suitable for a new school.

Stabilising enrolments in Brisbane's inner west means a new state school is not required as soon as originally anticipated.

The department will review the detailed business case to determine when and where a new state school should be built. While this work is underway, school communities at Indooroopilly, Ironside and Toowong State Schools will benefit from new and upgraded facilities including additional student capacity where needed.

Details about the planned school for Brisbane's inner west will be shared with the community when they become available.

Please read the report​ summarising the feedback received from the community between 18 April and 8 May 2022.​
