About the project

We expanded the kindergarten. This allows the centre to offer kinder to 64 children at a time, an increase of 8. It may be able to enrol more local kids by spreading classes throughout the week.

We renovated the original 1961 building to make sure it can meet the community’s needs.

This will help expand Victoria’s 2 years of free kindergarten, as part of our Best Start, Best Life reforms.

Funding

In Batch 5 of the 2023-2024 Capacity Grants, this project was allocated $1.7 million.
