Bus Safety
Remind your child to always wait until the bus has gone before choosing a safe place to cross the road. Always drop them off or meet them on the same side of the road as the bus stop.

Revised Changes to Waste Facilities: Trial of Amended Operating Hours
Revised Changes to Waste Facilities: Trial of Amended Operating Hours
Due to increased potential for fires and fatigue in extreme high temperatures, waste facilities will open and close one (1) hour earlier commencing Saturday 8 February, with a trial period until Friday 14 March 2025.
Recent trialled hot weather times (implemented Saturday 1 February) proved to be too early and inconvenient for most people, necessitating these changes for which we ask your understanding.

School Zones
Most school zones are in operation between 8am-9.30am and 2.30pm-4pm around schools Monday to Friday. Slow down and look out for children crossing. Please check signs for school zone hours.
