“Safety is as simple as ABC...Always Be Careful”

From Monday the 4th of April 2016 to Friday the 15th of April 2016, the Council will be conducting an educational and enforcement program at Oaklands School. This program is supported by the Police and we will beat the school gates from 8.15 am to 9.15 am, and from 2.30 pm to 3.30 pm on these days.

The purpose of our visit is to ensure the safety of children, parents, staff and other road users by promoting safe parking and driving behaviour at the school gates and close area.

We will be in full uniform and visible at all times around the school entrance and understand that its important to show empathy and discretion while at the school.

If any parking offences are spotted, the council parking enforcement officers will record the car registration and take photos of the offending car. An infringement notice will be posted to the car owner. These offences may include parking on yellow lines, blocking a vehicle entrance or exceeding the posted parking time limit.

Follow these tips to help create a safe environment around the school:

1. Plan your drop off and pick up times

2. Choose a safe parking area to drop off and pick up

3. Look out for all parking restrictions near the school

4. Be aware of other road users, such as buses, cyclists and pedestrians crossing the road

5. Keep to the speed limits and slow down when approaching the pedestrian crossing
