About the project

We are building a 2-room modular kindergarten at Goolum Goolum Aboriginal Co-operative in Horsham. The kinder will be able to offer kinder to 66 children at a time. It may be able to enrol more kids by spreading classes throughout the week. It will help Aboriginal children get 2 years of high-quality free kindergarten in a culturally safe environment.

Funding

This project was allocated $3 million in the 2025 Building Blocks Capacity Building grants stream.

About the project

We are helping Goolum Goolum Aboriginal Cooperative plan a kindergarten building in the Horsham Rural City Council area.

This would create more kindergarten places for local 3 and 4-year-olds, with priority access offered to Aboriginal families and vulnerable children in the community.

The planning gets the project ready for construction, which depends on future funding.

Funding

In Round 2 of the 2022–23 Planning Grants, $150,000 was allocated to this project.
