Victoria government pledges $18 million to upgrade Bendigo Senior Secondary College
What happened
The Victoria Labor government pledged more than $18 million to upgrade Bendigo Senior Secondary College if re-elected. The announcement was made by candidates Tim Rickwood and Brenton Baldwin, rather than by Premier Ben Carroll or the Education Minister.
Why it matters
The commitment provides major funding for infrastructure upgrades at the college. The City of Greater Bendigo must coordinate local planning and infrastructure management for the major state-funded upgrade.
