Member for Nanango, Deb Frecklington says persistence has paid off with Goomeri State School P-10 finally receiving funding* to install a new pedestrian crossing.
Deb said Goomeri SS, along with the P&C Committee had been trying to secure support for the important project for some time.
“The P&C wrote to me last year seeking support to install an improved pedestrian crossing at the Munro Street school entrance and I met with parents at the school to discuss this need,” Deb said.
“While there is a crossing on McTaggart Street, the Munro Street entrance is busier and desperately needed improvement.
“I am very pleased to see that the State Government has acknowledged the need at Goomeri State School to build a raised platform crossing (or ‘Wombat Crossing’) on Munro Street,” Deb said.
“This will improve safety dramatically for the students and families at Goomeri P-10 along with creating more certainty and awareness for road users at this location.
“I would like to congratulate Principal Leon Doorackers, his team and the Goomeri SS P&C for their ongoing efforts to achieve this great result for the Goomeri SS P-10 community.
