SUPPORT US AND YOU’RE SUPPORTING THE SCHOOL - WE WILL DONATE $200 BACK TO RNPS FOR EVERY AUTHORISED/PAID INSURANCE CLAIM!

We love cars, but we also love working with our customers. We understand that when you need to have a vehicle repaired, it can be an emotional and inconvenient time. If you’ve been in an accident, it can also be an extremely confusing time.

That’s why we set out to make the process as easy for you as possible. Here at Maroondah Accident Repairs, we offer expert advice, friendly service, accident replacement vehicles, and will guide you through your repair process without fuss.

You don’t have to take our word for it either. Check out what some of our customers have to say on Google! Contact Michael on (03) 9879 2179 or michael@marscars.com.au and don’t forget to mention RNPS!

We’re removing the dangerous and congested level crossings at Bedford Road, Ringwood and Dublin Road, Ringwood East and building a brand-new Ringwood East Station.

Students, parents, and school staff will need to plan ahead and allow for additional travel time while these works take place.

Pedestrian level crossing and road closure at Dublin Road, Ringwood East

From Tuesday 5 September to Tuesday 17 October, our crews will work around the clock to build the new Dublin Road bridge at the level crossing.

During this time:

the eastern level crossing at Dublin Road will be temporarily closed. Students, parents, and school staff will need to use the pedestrian level crossing, east of Ringwood East Station, to access Ringwood East Station or to travel between Patterson Street and Railway Avenue. Please note the western pedestrian level crossing will remain closed until 2024.
Dublin Road will be closed at the level crossing. Detours are available for road users via Mount Dandenong Road, Maroondah Highway, Bedford Road, Canterbury Road and Bayswater Road.

Helping students navigate disruptions

We know how important it is for your school to navigate these works and there are several ways we’ll help students, parents/guardians and staff get to and from school safely, including:

Clear, signed pedestrian pathways around construction zones, particularly where these zones are near schools
Traffic management crews on site to safely direct traffic and monitor congestion
School updates, such as this email, to provide information that can be used in school communication channels to parents and guardians
Opportunities for students to get involved in the project through learning activities and career talks
Clear, advanced notice of disruptions online, via email and SMS, and in local letterboxes.
We’re also available to hold meetings with parents/guardians at schools to go through these pedestrian access changes and bus stop relocations in more detail.
