(1) Traffic congestion during drop-off and pick-up times is common at schools across the metropolitan area. Generally, traffic management issues are addressed by the Local Council and the actual school involved. If the Member has some specific concerns, relating to a particular school, he may wish to take these up with the City of Gosnells and the relevant School Principal.
(2) In 2009 the DPI invested $27 000 in its annual
Cycle Instead

(3) The Government has encouraged Lumen Christi College to take part in the DPI's annual
