This does not include schools with specific enrolment criteria including English language schools, selective entry high schools, or community schools. Specialist schools also do not have school zones and have special enrolment criteria.\nEvery Victorian student has the legislated right to enrol at their local government school. A school zone does not restrict a student\u2019s choice to seek enrolment at other government schools. Students can enrol at a school outside their zone if the school has sufficient accommodation and it aligns with the school\u2019s enrolment management implementation plan, where applicable.\nFor students residing in metropolitan Melbourne, Ballarat, Bendigo or Geelong, the local school is usually the nearest government school in a straight line from the child\u2019s permanent residential address. In any other area of Victoria, it is usually the nearest school by the shortest practical route, recognising the additional travel distances often experienced in regional settings.\nIt is recognised that some school zones need to be aligned with geographical and structural barriers that significantly impede direct school access such as rivers and freeways. A main road with pedestrian crossings, however, is not usually considered to be a barrier to accessing a school.\nSchool zones are reviewed annually and may be adjusted to reflect new schools opening, changing provision at existing schools (e.g., relocating a campus or changing year levels offered), improving school accessibility, or managing enrolment demand.\nThe school zones ZIP file consists of distinct spatial datasets for primary school zones and school zones for each year of secondary school, acknowledging the different year levels offered by schools. The spatial datasets can be used in conjunction with the school locations CSV file also available on data.vic.gov.au. School zones have been published on the findmyschool.vic.gov.au website. More information on Victorian school zones can found at https://www.vic.gov.au/school-zones.\nSchool zones have been produced in GDA94 VicGrid projection (EPSG: 3111) using locations that represent the front of the school or driveway access. The location point for all government schools is taken from the department\u2019s register of school locations. Voronoi polygons define the measure of straight-line distance and road classes 0 to 7 in the VicMap Roads dataset have been used to define the measure of shortest practical route. \nThe Victorian government school zones are intended to be relied on by parents and families for the purposes of making enrolment decisions for their children. They should not be relied on for making property purchase decisions, or by any party other than parents and families seeking to enrol their child in a government school.", "num_resources": 1, "num_tags": 6, "organization": {"id": "a224994f-4fe4-41b1-8d30-7aa88ebe30a6", "name": "department-of-education-victoria-government", "title": "Department of Education", "type": "organization", "description": "The Department leads the delivery of education and development services to children, young people and adults both directly through government schools and indirectly through the regulation and funding of early childhood services, non-government schools and training programs.", "image_url": "", "created": "2025-06-26T02:39:46.403193", "is_organization": true, "approval_status": "approved", "state": "active"}, "original_harvest_source": {"site_url": "https://discover.data.vic.gov.au", "href": "https://discover.data.vic.gov.au/dataset/victorian-government-school-zones-2024", "title": "Victoria Government"}, "original_name": "victorian-government-school-zones-2024", "owner_org": "a224994f-4fe4-41b1-8d30-7aa88ebe30a6", "private": false, "promotion_level": "0", "remote_last_updated": "2024-12-16 22:28:00.060466", "spatial": "Victoria", "state": "active", "temporal_coverage_from": "2023-04-06 00:00:00", "title": "Victorian Government School Zones 2024", "type": "dataset", "unpublished": false, "url": null, "version": null, "extras": [{"key": "harvest_object_id", "value": "1c738ab4-8ad8-42b2-9963-448f02cb8135"}, {"key": "harvest_source_id", "value": "472e756b-f6f5-44d2-ba46-5438c201e026"}, {"key": "harvest_source_title", "value": "Victoria Government"}], "resources": [{"attribution": "", "cache_last_updated": null, "cache_url": null, "created": "2023-04-26T06:20:52.382230", "data_quality": "The dataset covers schools in Victoria to assist with enrolments for 2024 school year, on school zone level of data granularity.
