Council's role in school parking
To keep children safe around schools, council compliance officers monitor school parking areas and enforce parking zones and restrictions. This includes issuing infringement notices to people who breach parking restrictions. Council also plays a role in educating schools, students and parents about safe parking practices around schools.
The laws that apply to school parking include:
- Transport Operations (Road Use Management) Act 1995
- Transport Operations (Road Use Management – Road Rules) Regulation 2009
If you have a concern about parking during drop-off or pick-up times around a school, please contact council by phone on (07) 3810 6666, email via schoolsafe@ipswich.qld.gov.au or contact the police.
Council will be monitoring Safe School Parking behaviour at the following locations:
- Fernbrooke State School - 8 Regents Drive, Redbank Plains
- Woodlinks State School, Woodlinks Way Collingwood Park
