Property maintenance

State schools must get a building warrant of fitness (BWOF) from their local council every year. School boards are responsible for making sure the checks, maintenance and repairs needed to get the BWOF are done.

School boards are responsible for the maintenance of school property, and should create and follow a maintenance plan.

The property maintenance grant (PMG) is part of school operational funding. It's used to maintain Crown-owned buildings and facilities.

Our weathertightness remediation programme covered state school buildings built or modified between 1994 and 2005.

If your school is integrated into the state system, you’ll find information on how maintenance and funding for integrated schools works here.

Learn about the different types of school houses, how to maintain them, and how to manage tenants and rent.

If your school hosts a Teen Parent Unit (TPU) on site, you need to know what it’s responsible for with regards to maintenance and building upgrades.

We fund the day-to-day maintenance of pools that we own. Schools that own their pool must cover their own costs.

We provide furniture and equipment funding to state schools with their 5 Year Agreement funding, and with some property projects.

School boards are responsible for reducing and repairing vandalism. We provide operational funding to help with the cost of repairs.
