Victorian School Building Authority


The Victorian School Building Authority is a statutory authority of the Government of Victoria which is responsible for the construction of new government schools and infrastructure improvements at existing schools. It was established by the Andrews Government as part of the 2016 Victorian Budget. A number of the VSBA's new schools are so-called "vertical schools" on inner city sites, a previously unexplored concept in Victoria. The authority has also been implicated in a controversy about the removal of trees at the request of the Melbourne Cricket Club during the construction of Beaumaris Secondary College.
