After spending some time trying to find a list of restricted school zones, I've given up and decided to collect them manually. I use them to populate the zones on my website Melbourne School Zones.
Following is a list of restricted zones I've encountered, with a link to a source used to obtain that information.
But first, a quote from Victoria's department of education, explaining what is a restricted zone for a public school - http://www.education.vic.gov.au/school/parents/primary/Pages/boundary.aspx:
And now for the list:In most instances, you will be able to enrol your child into the government primary school nearest to where you live.However, some primary schools need to restrict their enrolments – and the number of students they can take – to a particular area or zone around the actual school. This means that certain schools can only take students from a specific neighbourhood area. Where your permanent residential address is will determine whether your child is eligible to enrol in that school.These enrolment restrictions are sometimes referred to as residential boundaries, school zones, enrolment ceilings or enrolment caps.

ReplyDeleteThanks. I've updated the blog with a link to the zone map.
Deletehi there, how did you work out which schools have zones versus which didnt?
ReplyDeleteHi Darren,
ReplyDeleteI compiled it manually - just talking to schools and checking their websites.
The Victorian government do have the data we need, but they did not release it yet.
Hi There,
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in having a chat about this. Would you be open to discussing further?
Sure, email me on igal.dvir@gmail.com and we'll setup something.
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteJust wondering how you calculated the school zones for those that do not have restricted zones? I'm using QGIS with the school locations to create voronoi polygons, but the result I get is subtly different to yours. I'm new to GIS in general, so just wondering if there's something obvious I'm doing wrong?
Cheers,
James.
I seem to have worked it out - was using the wrong projection for the data :)
DeleteWas just about to suggest that :)
DeleteWorking on anything interesting you can share?
I'm building a Qlik Sense app (see www.qlik.com) to bring together property sales data with a variety of other data sources for analysis purposes. One of the things I wanted to analyse specifically was median property prices by school zone, which I can now do :)
