Subject: Verification of School Transport Route for Miller Family - 12/03/2026

Dear Transport Office, I am writing to formally confirm the details regarding my son, Liam James Miller, for the upcoming school transport assistance application. We currently reside at 42 Oakwood Drive, Sunnybank, QLD, 4109. Liam attends the Sunnybank District State School, which is the closest state school offering his curriculum level. 

I have personally verified the travel metrics for the application. The distance from our home to the nearest transport pick-up point (the bus stop on corner of Elm and Pine) is exactly 1.2 kilometers. From that stop, the bus travels 8.4 kilometers to reach the school gate. For context, if we were driving directly without any transport, the distance would be 9.6 kilometers in total. The total return journey takes approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes on the bus route.

Regarding the request for a closer pick-up point, we previously reached out to the transit authorities, but they confirmed that no closer stop is feasible due to current road safety regulations for the bus size; therefore, that is marked as 'No' on our form. We have looked into the nearby alternative state school, Mansfield State High, but our home is not within the 4.5km transport threshold required for that specific service, so that does not apply to our situation. 

My name is Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Miller, born 14/05/1982. As the parent and the person who walked the route with a GPS tracker to verify these distances, I have signed the declaration myself. Please let me know if you require any further documentation regarding Liam's student ID or health records.
