About the project

We replaced the one-room building with a 3-room kindergarten. We built the new kinder using modular construction. The service is now able to offer kinder to 88 children at a time. It may be able to enrol more local kids by spreading classes throughout the week.  

Funding

This project is part of the Building Blocks Partnership between the State Government and Merri-Bek City Council. The Victorian Government has provided $10.7 million to support 11 projects that will create 329 new kindergarten places in the local government area.
