Palaszczuk Government delivers new car park for Kallangur State School

Kallangur State School will have a new car park thanks to Palaszczuk Government funding of $200,000. Representing the Education Minister at the school today, Environment Minister Steven Miles said more than 100 new car parking spaces for parents and carers of children would be delivered. “The school told us they desperately needed a new carpark to make it easier on parents and staff. “Hundreds of students travel to and from the school every morning and afternoon. This project will make it safer for them and their teachers during those busy periods.” Member for Kallangur Shane King said the new carpark was not only important for the safety of students, parents, carers and teachers but would also ease traffic. “It will ease traffic congestion and parents will be able park at the school and take their cars off local roads.” “One of the first things I was able to do when elected was to get this oval off the “For Sale” list that it was put on by the previous government. I am especially pleased that keeping this oval in public hands has allowed us to make this carpark possible.” Principal Andrew Swales said the school community warmly welcomed the announcement. “A lack of off-road car parking for families, high volume traffic has been an ongoing issue for the school,” Mr Swales said. “A new car park will give parents the opportunity to park close to the school in a dedicated area while they collect and accompany their children in an even safer setting.” For more information on Kallangur State School visit: www.kallangurss.eq.edu.au
