Rondo worked closely with Wadsworth Contracting providing KEY-LOCK® Concealed Ceiling Systems,
Panther® Access Panels, plastering beads as well as external 92mm framing, soffit framing, internal 76 &
64mm wall framing. Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk was joined by the Minister for Education and Member for McConnel Grace to discuss the release of the proposed catchment area. The State Government has funded $800 million towards the project as part of the government’s Building Future Schools Fund. Approximately, 300 full-time jobs will be provided in the construction sector, as an expected 3,000 additional students are expected to move into the area over the next five years.
