About the project

We are upgrading the kinder’s internal learning areas. 

We’ll add a new larger kitchen that can be used for kinder classes. We’ll extend a building to add a meeting room that staff can use with parents and specialist services. We’ll also be improving offices and making a bathroom more accessible for people of all abilities. 

These changes will improve conditions for staff and families. They will give children new ways to socialise, develop and learn.

Funding

In the 2024-25 Building Blocks Capacity Grants, $561,340 was allocated to this project.

About the project

We built covered walkways between the main building and the portable classrooms. We installed a verandah over the accessible ramp through to the carpark drop-off area. Not only will this make the centre more welcoming, it will allow solar panels to be installed in the future.

About the project

In partnership with Gippsland Lakes Community Health, we upgraded Gippsland Lakes Community Health Children's Centre.

The upgrade included: building and installing purpose-built modular kindergarten facilities increasing kindergarten capacity for three and four-year-olds.

Modular kindergartens are relocatable buildings that can be produced in a matter of months and flexibly deployed where needed. This significantly reduces timelines and costs. The use of modular buildings helps deliver high-quality, long-lasting, purpose-built kindergarten infrastructure.

Funding

In 2019–20, this project was allocated $377,845 through the Children's Facilities Capital Program.
