Formerly known as Clyde Creek North Secondary School during planning and design, Birranga is a Boonwurrung language word meaning feathertail glider — a name chosen following community and Traditional Owner consultation.
OSVgroup partnered with Kane to deliver the complete civil and landscape package for this new secondary school, which opened in January 2026 with Year 7 enrolments, growing year on year to meet strong demand in one of Clyde North's fastest-growing residential areas. Our scope spanned sports infrastructure, hardcourts, gathering spaces and extensive native landscaping — creating a connected, culturally grounded campus.
