THE footpath extension in front of the Rosewood State School has been completed.

Cr Jim Madden said students, families and staff would especially benefit from the upgrade.

“Division 4 Councillors put forward the request for a footpath to connect the main entrance of Rosewood State School to the carpark after noticing a need for better accessibility,” he said.

“The existing footpath has now been extended to connect the driveway of the carpark to the pedestrian crossing and the main entrance.

“The school hall is accessed via the carpark, and with a footpath now installed, students, families and staff can access the area with ease.”

Cr David Martin said the new footpath would be welcomed by the community.

“It will also cater to all those with accessibility needs, allowing safer access to the school from the carpark.

Installation of the footpath was funded through the Division 4 Provisional Projects program.
