Six new school bus services for Mount Atkinson and Deanside will better connect students to their local schools in the new school year.
In January, students living in Mount Atkinson and Deanside can board buses servicing Mt Atkinson Estate, Grandview Estate, Olivia Estate and Deanside.
The buses will transport students attending Rockbank Primary, Brookside P-9, Yarrabing Secondary College, Lakeview Senior College, Deanside Primary School and Springside West Secondary College.
Melton students attending Staughton College will also benefit from six new school specials, with two school specials linking students in Weir Views with the college being introduced from Term 1, and another four services connecting students in Brookfield, Cobblebank and Stathtulloh with Staughton College to roll out in Term 2.
Minister for Public and Active Transport Gabrielle Williams said the government pomised to “provide parents and students with better school bus services in growing communities and that’s exactly what we’re delivering.”
This adds to new school bus services introduced in 2024 for students in Thornhill Park and Rockbank attending Yarrabing Secondary College, and for Rockbank and Aintree students attending Springside West Secondary College.
