The ACT Education Directorate does not have plans to build a new school or expand existing schools near the Belconnen town centre despite multiple new apartment complexes being built in the area.

ACT Education Minister Yvette Berry told a budget estimates hearing on Monday the directorate examined the possibility of expanding the Florey Primary School on the adjacent dry land oval but that it wasn't required.
