AN Ipswich private school has won a long battle to reduce the speed limit on a busy road which runs past the college.
A new school zone has been installed on Wulkuraka-Connection Rd near the intersection with Keswick Rd.
During morning and afternoon school runs the road is especially busy, making it difficult for parents to enter and exit the campus.
For the Karrabin school, it is an issue that has only grown over the years as the city’s population has risen.
WestMAC is just a short drive from the Blacksoil Interchange to the Warrego and Brisbane Valley highways.

“Demand has been supported by historically low interest rates and more government support, such as the First Home Loan Deposit Scheme and HomeBuilder. A brief pullback in property prices also helped FHBs as the uncertainty of COVID-19 put many plans on ice, with investor demand slowing noticeably.
