Summary Article 1 (School cash row) - The article describes an escalating dispute over funding for parking and traffic‑management works at the new Great Ryrie Primary School in Heathmont. The Department of Education (DOE) has not yet confirmed $120,000 for parking infrastructure, despite what the council understood to be a verbal commitment to fund 60 parking spaces on the eastern side of Great Ryrie Street. Bayswater MP Gordon Ashley is accused by residents and councillor Nick Kirmos of backing away from earlier promises. A residents’ group called “School of Broken Promises” claims Ashley had committed to a “dollar‑for‑dollar” funding arrangement. Ashley rejects these accusations as “misinformed” and “disappointing,” arguing that the larger $409,000 figure includes works that may not be required. Cr Nick Kirmos expresses concern that the parking works may not be finished before the school opens in second term. The council had accepted the DOE’s verbal offer and sought guarantees for additional funding tied to traffic‑management reviews. A public meeting to discuss options for the merged schools—Heathmont, Ringwood, and Southwood—was scheduled for Tuesday, March 17, at Aquinas College, Ringwood. Summary Article 2 (MP Ends car park fight): The article reports that the long‑running dispute over parking funding for Great Ryrie Primary School has finally been resolved. The Department of Education (DoE) confirmed it will provide $150,000 and transfer a small parcel of land to Maroondah Council, enabling construction of 60 parking spaces—30 along Great Ryrie Street and 30 within the school grounds. Bayswater MP Gordon Ashley is credited with breaking the stalemate by urging both the DoE and the council to adopt recommendations from an independent traffic consultant. The funding issue had previously involved disagreements over the number and location of parking spaces, as well as concerns raised by a local residents’ group about traffic and safety. The new school, Great Ryrie Primary, is nearing completion, and the resolution clears the way for essential parking and traffic‑management works to proceed. (Co-Pilot 11/7/2026)
