The regional New South Wales town of Bungendore will finally get a high school after four years of legal headaches after the announcement of the $71m project by the then state deputy premier and member for Monaro, John Barilaro.
The new high school, a 2019 election commitment due to be built by January 2023 in the middle of Bungendore’s heritage precinct, required the demolition of its pool, community centre and council offices. It caused immediate division and outrage among residents.
