Edwina Dalco from the Launceston City Council Youth Advisory Group says it is a state-wide concern and the council is writing to the government in an effort to address the issue. “Although it is affecting our community it is affecting many more as well I know other communities like Longford is in a very similar situation as is Scottsdale a lot of the residents in Launceston and surrounding areas are in fact going to Devonport where they can get in sooner” she said. Ms Dalco says the long waiting list is making it hard for some students.
