Paxon acted as financial and commercial adviser to develop a business case to establish a new primary school in the Perth CBD.

Due to the student enrolment growth at Highgate Primary School and demographic trends in the inner city, the Department had been investigating options to provide school enrolment relief.

Paxon developed the business case for the inner-city primary school project, building on our earlier work with the Department on a site options analysis. Paxon worked with the Department and a cross-Government working group to develop the business case and evaluate different built form and staging options.
