"These local upgrades are part of the school building boom that is happening right across Victoria," Bendigo West MP Maree Edwards said.

"Upgrading Maiden Gully Primary School will give local students access to great classrooms and facilities - because you can't deliver a first-rate education in second-rate classrooms."

Maiden Gully Primary School's upgrade will create local jobs, with work expected to be completed by late 2023.

The Victorian Budget 2021/22 will invest $1.6 billion to build new schools and improve existing schools to make sure our kids have the bright futures they deserve.
