Split-Site/Multi-Site Allowance (Reference 33)
Split-site/multi-site allowances are paid to designated primary, P-12 and secondary colleges which are not being funded for a separate enrolment linked base (Reference 2). Specialist and Language Schools are also eligible if applied criteria is satisfied.
A school may be eligible for the allowance if:
- it is a specialist school operating on sites that are more than one kilometre apart (not including base rooms) or
- the configuration of the school represents a historical merging of 2 or more schools or
- it has classrooms operating on 2 or more sites, for example, separated by at least a road or an oval (not including alternative settings attached to schools).
Note:
- Includes P–12 colleges that have more than one primary school site.
- For approved secondary colleges formed through the merger of secondary colleges on adjacent sites, this item is replaced by a $61,056 site allowance.
Funding is calculated at the Indicative cycle and allocated through cash funding.
