Good sign for local school safety Regular drivers on Coonowrin Road at Glass House Mountains will notice that new flashing school zone signs have recently been installed at the Glass House Mountains State School. Last week the state government also annouced that they will install another four of these across the Sunshine Coast, including two in our area at Peachester State School on Kilcoy-Beerwah Road and Maleny State High School on Bunya Street. The 40km per hour signs are part of the latest round of the Queensland Government’s $12 million flashing school zone program. Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said flashing signs played an important role in alerting motorists that they were entering a school zone, reminding drivers to slow down and keep an eye out for children. “The community has been very passionate in advocating for new flashing signs and it’s great to be able to secure it for these schools,” Mr Bailey said.
Day of action for climate
Follow us on Instagram @gcmnews
Back in March and again in May, thousands of school students and their supporters across the nation took to the streets in a day of action to call for better climate leadership from elected representatives. On September 20, three days before the UN Emergency Climate Summit, another event – the Global Climate Strike – is planned across the world, with a local event to be held at Cotton Tree Park, Cotton Tree. Starting at 12noon, the event is being promoted as family friendly and is a coordinated effort between Students Strike 4 Climate, Australian
The signs will flash on school days and during school zone times so motorists will be aware when children are likely to be around.
Youth Climate Coalition, Stop Adani Sunshine Coast and 350.org. The Stop Adani Maleny group is holding a prestrike send off at the Maple Street bus stop from 10am on September 20 to gather and converse before boarding the public transport bus or car pool to Cotton Tree. To find out more, go to their Facebook event page by searching Sunshine Coast - Global #ClimateStrike. The Stop Adani Maleny group can be found via their Facebook page (search for Stop Adani Maleny).
