Broken Hill Public School Project

Broken Hill Public School, a historic landmark of the town, first opened its doors in April 28th, 1965. Over time, the timber louvre sections of the building began to deteriorate, posing safety concerns as some louvres detached from the structure. PV Projects was engaged to address the issue by replacing the ageing timber louvres with modern aluminium alternatives and installing new Colorbond eaves.

The project presented several challenges, including a steeply sloped site, double-storey construction, and the need to maintain uninterrupted school operations throughout the works. In total, 490 lineal metres of scaffold were constructed around active school areas to safely complete the work.

PV Projects successfully delivered the upgrade over two school terms—on time and on budget—ensuring a safer, modernised facility while preserving the school's heritage and functionality.
