Works to upgrade the Julatten School bus turnaround are progressing well. Mayor Tom Gilmore said the project will reduce the safety risk for students boarding and alighting from school buses at the front of the school. The scope of works includes the extension of the existing car park along Button Close, additional asphalt sealing, new kerb and channel, modifying the existing traffic island to aid traffic movement and the installation of a new concrete footpath. This project is funded by the Queensland Government’s 2017-19 Works for Queensland program and is being delivered by Mareeba Shire Council.
