ST Anne’s College will benefit from a new bus route that will make services more efficient for students and their families.
An additional two services to Kialla will become reality after talks between the Independent Member for Shepparton District, Suzanna Sheed and the Transport Department.
“We spoke to the school and together we figured out what stops the students needed in the service and presented the information to the Transport Department,” Ms Sheed said.
“While the department assessed their overall plans for streamlining the school bus services, they made sure our St Anne’s students were included in the plan.”
The additional services will assist some 330 students who attend the Cathlolic P-12 college to get to school every day.
“The college has been identified to be in a growth corridor, with the school enrolment expecting to reach 450 next year and 1,400 by 2025.”
“The overall Shepparton bus service will consist of 26 routes and the new network will make services more efficient.”
As well as servicing the new Greater Shepparton Secondary College, the service will maintain existing connections to other primary schools across Shepparton.
Hawdon Street will host a brand-new bus interchange with 13 bus bays to service the new college.
