Lemonwood Grove School - Minor Amendment

Closed 11 Oct 2023

Opened 11 Sep 2023

Overview

The Ministry of Education is proposing a minor amendment to the enrolment scheme of Lemonwood Grove School.

The home zone is a key part of the Enrolment Scheme and sets out a geographic area from within which students have a right to enrol at the school. Residential developments occuring on or near the home zone boundary have meant that the current written description and home zone map needs to be clarified to identify more accurately which addresses should be considered in-zone for Lemonwood Grove School.

This minor amendment is required to update the written description and map in the northern part of the zone due to the extension of Brenley Drive and to reflect new roading including Marcoola Drive, Hayshed Street, Crosado Place, and Harrison Drive. We are including a small overlap in this area with West Rolleston Primary School and will be doing a minor amendment for their school at the same time to clarify these areas.

The proposed commencement date of this minor amendment is 01 January 2024.
