Schools

School sites planned inside the precinct.

The draft precinct structure plan reserves land for both government and non-government schools, so education grows with the neighbourhoods rather than after them.

Future school sites in the draft plan

Government school site

A government school site is proposed within the precinct, positioned with local open space and community facilities. Delivery is staged and subject to the Victorian Department of Education.

Non-government school site

Land is also identified for a non-government school. Providers, timing and enrolment intake are not determined by the precinct plan.
