AMU Officer contact details on next page

The AMU has moved

From the HCC AMU Director

2016 certainly started with a flurry of activity for the AMU.

Where did Term 1 go?

The AMU have been busy across a number of programs

during the first part of the year.

Day 1 Term 1 projects were satisfactorily delivered to

schools. This included access works, capital works,

demountable installations and maintenance works

Planned maintenance has been the priority for the team

across all schools, facilitating the decisions of School Princi-

pals to achieve maintenance repair works with the dollars

available. The ongoing cooperation of schools in Term 2 to

have this work completed during term time is appreciated.

Planning has been underway for capital works and

maintenance programs to commence in the new financial

year 16/17 - from July. Our Asset Services Officers will be in

contact with you shortly to discuss your maintenance

priorities.

The AMU made the move from Newcastle TAFE Campus

at Tighes Hill and are now located at the former Gateshead

West PS site. The site is also home to a number of training

rooms currently being used to deliver LMBR across Calla-

ghan / Port Stephens, Newcastle, Lake Macquarie East

& West School networks

The AMU continues to support all schools

across a wide platform of programs, policies and

guidelines. Please do not hesitate to contact your

Asset Services Officer for any assistance on any

matter

We look forward to seeing you if you are

attending training at Gateshead or during any

planned visit during Term 2.

REPLACEMENT FURNITURE REQUESTS

annually. Each request will be considered against all other applications. This will ensure that

replacement furniture is allocated where the need is greatest and the distribution is as equitable as

possible.
