WANGARATTA District Specialist School (WDSS) has received $510,000 in funding to go towards the development of a new campus in Benalla.

Member for Northern Victoria Jaclyn Symes announced WDSS is one of 33 schools given the green light to start planning for upgrades and new builds under the Infrastructure Planning and Acceleration Fund.

This comes after $5.235 million was awarded to WDSS and Appin Park Primary School in May this year through the Building Works package.
