Childcare Centre Developments

Most instances of childcare centre developments necessitate a planning permit, demanding compliance with all applicable standards and regulations.

Approaching childcare projects with utmost care is paramount, given the significant safety measures required for children. Collaboration with planning authorities is crucial, aligning with the design guide for Victorian children services to ensure the successful execution of the project.

Several factors, including the number of children, indoor and outdoor play areas, and the availability of parking spaces, play pivotal roles in preparing the paperwork for childcare centre developments. While converting a dwelling into a childcare centre is feasible, it requires careful consideration of factors such as the location’s transport zone category, land size, and compatibility with adjoining properties. Ensuring the health and safety of children is of utmost importance, and certain councils may have specific policies, such as the Child Minding Centres Policy of Casey City Council, regulating childcare development.

We strongly advise reaching out to us at the project’s outset to assess the feasibility of converting or establishing a new childcare centre in Victoria.

Featured Project

Construction of a Childcare Centre (Ongoing)

We are preparing the necessary documents to obtain planning approval for a childcare centre in Noble Park. The current site, occupied by a three-bedroom residential building, is slated for demolition to make way for the childcare centre, along with dedicated parking facilities. The rear of the property will feature nine sealed and line-marked parking spaces, including one designed for disabled access.

The envisioned two-storey childcare centre is set to include three children’s rooms, a staff room, kitchen facilities, a reception area, a disabled toilet, children’s toilets, a laundry area, and an outdoor play space. The proposed Childcare Centre aims to meet the childcare needs of the Noble Park community and neighbouring suburbs. Its strategic location offers convenient access via major arterial roads and proximity to Yarraman Railway Station.
