Please see update below from Major Road Projects regarding the Drysdale Bypass. It is appear they are on track to open earlier than the planned Sept date.

We’ve been making great progress on the Drysdale Bypass and you will see a few changes since you were last at school.

A few updates on drop off and pick up zones:

- Gillies Road is now closed, until the Bypass open in the coming weeks

- Parking bays along Andersons Road are under construction, with sealing works scheduled for the week commencing 25 May 2020. This type of work is highly weather dependant, we will keep you updated on how this work progresses.

- Until we’re able to complete the sealing work on the parking bays, parking on Andersons Road is not encouraged. Please use Peninsula Drive and Reserve Road during this time.

- The underpass on Andersons Road is now open to pedestrians, please take note of the safety requirements when moving through the area
