  22. Discretionary IWB Purchases • Site surveys are now optional for standard IWB bundle purchases through discretionary funds. • Schools can now choose to simply complete an IWB Bundle Checklist • The checklist is available from DET Procurement • 3+ Rooms Hardboard (Panaboard) Bundle $6863 ex GST per room • 3+ Rooms Softboard (Smartboard) Bundle $7242 ex GST per room • 1-2 Rooms Hardboard (Panaboard) Bundle $7372 ex GST per room • 1-2 Rooms Softboard (Smartboard) Bundle $7733 ex GST per room
