A new state school for Holmview, previously described as Bahrs Scrub, was originally planned to open for Term 1 2026. 

Timing for the school opening has been delayed to 2027, to address issues raised in the planning phase.

The new school will increase capacity in the local school network and provide enrolment relief to surrounding schools.
