Education Minister Jeremy Rockliff will launch a community engagement plan for the new school in Legana on Wednesday afternoon.
The Liberal government pledged to build a new $20 million primary school in Legana if they were re-elected at the last election.
At the West Tamar Council meeting on Tuesday, councillor and former principal Peter Kearney OAM said the opportunity to build a new school was extremely rare and the community needed to take advantage of it.
