Yankalilla Area School Bus Zone Extension

Following approval of the project plan by the Department for Infrastructure and Transport (DIT), the District Council of Yankalilla has commenced works to extend the Yankalilla Area School bus zone along Main South Road.

The upgrade will improve safety and traffic management around the school by providing safer, more efficient entry and exit for school buses.

Council’s Depot Team is coordinating the works, which begin today with the removal and reinstatement of zigzag line marking and the relocation of the 25 km/h school zone signage 32 metres east. All works are being completed in accordance with Australian Standards.

Several years ago, the bus zone was relocated to its current position adjacent to the school oval to allow for new security gates and fencing at its former site. While that improved school safety, it restricted bus movement within the main carpark. The current upgrade will extend the bus parking area along the school boundary to accommodate three buses, providing a safer and more accessible pick-up and drop-off point for students.

This project represents welcome progress in ensuring the school bus zone is fit-for-purpose for current needs.

Council welcomes feedback from the school and broader community as these important safety upgrades progress. Here's how you can get in touch with us:
