Aranda Primary School boundary fence – final design now available
Following the completion of community consultation on the Aranda Primary School boundary fence in July, the final fence design is now available. The fence design has been updated to reflect the feedback we heard from the community.
Thank you to the community for your feedback. The Education Directorate received 56 responses via the Your Say Online Platform, and 35 emails. A number of meetings were also held with various groups and Education Directorate officials.
How has consultation with the Aranda community informed the final fence design?
- Out of hours access will be provided to community during daylight hours – generally to 5.30pm in winter; and to 8.30pm in summer. This will be managed through timers on selected gates.
- The Education Directorate will reconfigure the bike track to within the fence on the western edge of the school oval, providing an equivalent track in consultation with the school and P&C.
- The yarning circle at the front of the school will be within the fence line.
- The kindergarten playground will no longer have an additional fence surrounding it.
- The fence will be a 2.1 metre high fence.
- The fence will be green in colour.
- Following installation, the school will be invited to decorate the fence. This project will be managed by the school with details to be provided shortly.
Procurement has commenced. Due to market conditions, construction is now expected to be completed by the end of Term 1, 2024.
