In local news, Maiwar Greens MP Michael Berkman says the Education Department is considering alternative proposals to a new primary school at Indooroopilly State High School.

Locals and surrounding schools have criticised the proposal to build the new inner-west primary school in Indooroopilly, citing increasing traffic and safety concerns in the area.

Mr Berkman has criticised the Education Departments consultation process, describing it as, 

"clunky, unfairly skewed, and lacking in sufficient information for residents to properly consider the proposed location in comparison with other sites," he said. 

One alternative for the proposal includes merging Toowong’s Queensland Academy for Science Maths and Technology with Coorparoo Secondary College, given the Coorparoo campus’s large size and low enrolments.
