An architect has been appointed to design McKinnon Primary School’s major upgrade.

At the 2022 election, State Member for Bentleigh Nick Staikos gave a commitment that a re-elected Labor Government would invest $12.6 million in a major upgrade of the school.

Kosloff Architecture has been appointed to design the upgrade, which will include a renovation of the main building, as well as a brand new two storey building to replace ageing portable classrooms.

Since 2014, the Victorian Labor Government has invested more than $200 million in school capital projects in the Bentleigh electorate.
