Some residual works are continuing.

Construction activities will be undertaken in accordance with Ipswich 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 Ipswich City Council webpage.

The operational school zone is safely separated from any construction activities, secured with fencing. Wayfinding signage is in place to ensure students and families know where to go and to ensure access to work zones is avoided.

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 measures to mitigate noise and environmental impacts, 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 identified increased growth and primary student enrolment relief was needed in Ripley. The large population growth, the considerable number of additional primary students expected and the projected capacity pressure at nearby state schools all support the need for a new school. The new school will provide long-term enrolment capacity in the schooling network and enable the department to address the growing demand that is occurring in this area.

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.
