The Northern Rivers flood-recovery program spans six schools, delivering resilient, elevated learning facilities designed to support a staged return to on-site education. New buildings are raised approximately three metres on steel gantries to improve flood resilience, with undercroft areas providing sheltered play and circulation. At Wardell Public School, a key milestone saw 29 modular classrooms and a lift shaft installed, supported by coordinated stakeholder engagement, authority approvals, procurement and logistics.
