The principal must ensure sufficient capacity is reserved to accommodate students, taking into account projected enrolment growth. Independent Public Schools support the implementation of School EMPs where required. The School EMP procedure, operational guidelines and the School EMP template are available at: . Further supporting documentation, including template letters for principals, and frequently asked questions are available at: . If your school has been identified to implement a School EMP, you will be notified by your regional office. Should you have any questions regarding the School EMP procedure or require assistance in preparing your School EMP, please contact your Infrastructure Manager – Region.

Public Private Partnerships An Independent Public School that is subject to a Public Private Partnership (PPP) is required to comply with the PPP contract conditions. For example, a PPP school is not required to formulate either a maintenance or an infrastructure (asset) plan as these are incorporated into the PPP arrangements. The PPP contract will continue to be managed centrally by the department. School strategic infrastructure plans Principals of Independent Public Schools need to consider infrastructure requirements and industry links to shape a physical environment that best matches the strategic vision for their school. Independent Public School principals are encouraged to put in place a strategic infrastructure plan as a priority within their school strategic plan. The plan is a tool which enables Independent Public Schools to document the school’s facility and education future direction aims, timeframes and what is required to achieve them.
