Construction activities will be undertaken in accordance with Logan City Council regulations, which stipulate that construction begins no earlier than 6.30am and concludes no later than 6.30pm. If works are required outside of regulated construction hours, such as night works, the contractor will seek the necessary approvals and keep the local community informed. For more information on construction and noise regulations, please visit the official Logan City Council webpage.

Mitigation measures will vary between projects and be adopted by the contractor to reduce impacts during construction. Measures may include: scheduling works to avoid sensitive times, selecting appropriate machinery and equipment, installing noise and environmental impact mitigation treatments, ongoing monitoring and providing advance notice to the neighbouring community.

It is important to recognise that the construction period is temporary and the delivery of new educational infrastructure provides a significant long-term benefit to the broader community.

The department takes a regional approach to new schools planning, looking at the best ways to meet future demand across a local network of schools.

The department considers strategies such as enrolment management and expansion of existing schools to make sure existing assets are fully utilised before significant new investments are made.

The selection of new school sites is governed by criteria including, but not limited to, being centrally located to the student catchment area, block shape, environmental impacts, street frontage and future accessibility via pedestrian, cycle and public transport.

The catchment area for the new school can be found on EdMaps.

The department actively monitors enrolment growth across Queensland to ensure all children, no matter where they live, have access to quality educational facilities. When planning for new schools, the department considers capacity of the existing network, the ability to expand existing schools, growth in the local student population and land availability.
