New and altered bus routes will run in Point Cook and Werribee South in 2025 to make it easier for students to get to school.
In term two, a new school special service will give more public transport options to students of Homestead Senior Secondary College, Alamanda K-9 College and Saltwater P-9 College living in Sanctuary Lakes.
Changes will also be introduced to the existing Werribee South-Alamanda special service which the state government said will give more options to students of the school living in Wyndham Harbour.
Point Cook MP Mathew Hilakari said the government was listening to local parents and students about the need for better school bus services that connect them directly to local schools.
“We’re giving Victorians parents and students what they need with better public transport including more buses to schools in Melbourne’s growing west,” he said.
“Through Victoria’s Bus Plan we’re providing more frequent and reliable public transport that better connects people to schools, jobs and other key destinations over more days of the week and more hours of the day.”
Alamanda K-9 College principal Lyn Jobson said the school was happy about the extra bus services.
