Working in Partnership with Government
Queensland Catholic Education Commission
While the Catholic community contributes significant funding making new Catholic schools cost-effective for taxpayers, they cannot be developed without State government support
![Page 19: Meeting the schooling needs of Queenslands growing population Presentation to Members of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland and other Key Stakeholders](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551a03de550346a4248b45ea/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• Split timetables and shared ovals
• Building strong partnerships with local contractors
• Inner city high-rise
Innovative solutions
Queensland Catholic Education Commission
• Power-saving and environmentally sustainable features
Working in Partnership with Government

Key areas for ongoing partnership development:
• Local government infrastructure costs can be prohibitive. We believe legislative progress is being made to achievefair outcomes for education providers
• Sourcing and purchasing suitable land. The work of the QLD Schools Planning Commission to develop detailed demand mapping has greatly assisted us
Working in Partnership with Government
Queensland Catholic Education Commission
• State Government grants such as Building our Future Schools Fund are vital and should be guaranteed and increased into the future to match growing demand
