Project outcomes
We recently sought feedback from the community regarding the proposed closure of the walkway next to St John the Apostle School in Christies Beach.
On 19 March 2024, Council reviewed the public consultation report and approved the walkway closure.
During the consultation objections from the community were raised, particularly concerning the lack of street parking and safety. Representatives from Catholic Education SA and Council have discussed these concerns.
The closure of the walkway aligns with the school’s master plan and will offer improved student safety and movement within the expanded school campus. The School’s development plans include the provision of additional on-site parking which will improve movement for vehicles along Carmichael and Winnerah Roads.
The ability to effectively use the school’s acquired sites and create a connected campus will help the school to forward plan, accommodate the community and will improve safety for it’s students and staff.
Council will now proceed with the next stage of closing the walkway through the formal closure process.
We would like to thank everyone for their valuable feedback.
