Safer Schools Program | Parking Notice
St Laurence's College is confirmed to be included in the Brisbane City Council (Council) Safer Schools Program for Term 2, 2026. Unfortunately, this has resulted from an increase in the number of reports of illegal parking around our school. This program aims to promote safe parking practices and ensure compliance with local traffic regulations around schools.
Parking in accordance with all road rules and signage is important to keep our students and other road users safe.
What does this mean?
Brisbane City Council’s Parking Compliance Officers will be actively patrolling the streets surrounding our school over the coming Term to encourage safer parking behaviours. These patrols will be conducted on foot and in highly visible Community Safety and Regulation vehicles that can identify alleged offences using Automatic Number Plate Recognition and GPS software. Please be kind – they have a job to do.
What are the common parking signs around schools?
A guide to common parking signs around school zones can be found on Council’s website by searching the term ‘School Parking’.
