Alphington Link Project

After 24 years of advocacy, work will start on the Farm road connection to the link on 23 April 2026. 

When completed, this will provide APS students living in North Alphington and Fairy Hills a way of independently getting to school without having to navigate Heidelberg Road.

Thank you for the continued support of Alphington Primary School for this project. Your support has provided considerable strength to the continued advocacy for the project.
