Sheed gains bus route for St Anne’s College

Independent Member for Shepparton District Suzanna Sheed helped to establish a bus route for St Anne’s College.

Ms Sheed said the decision to extend the bus network to include two new services to Kialla, came after her talks between the school and Transport Department.

“We spoke to the school and together we figured out what stops the students needed in the service and presented the information to the Transport Department,” Ms Sheed said.

“While the department assessed their overall plans for streamlining the school bus services, they made sure our St Anne’s students were included in the plan.

“I am delighted that we were able to assist some of the 330 students who attend the Catholic P-12 college with a simple way to get to and from school every day.

“The college has been identified to be in a growth corridor, with the school enrolment expecting to reach 450 next year and 1,400 by 2025.

“The overall Shepparton bus service will consist of 26 routes and the new network will make services more efficient.”

As well as servicing the new Greater Shepparton Secondary College, the service will maintain existing connections to other primary schools across Shepparton.
Hawdon Street will host a brand-new bus interchange with 13 bus bays to service the new college.
