Upgrades on the Whyalla Child Care Centre are underway
Progress continues to be made on Whyalla City Council’s Child Care Centre expansion, with local builder Steve White successfully laying the concrete.
Now that this has been completed, it’s paved the way for the next stage of the project, which will see wall framework starting.
The project aims to provide a modern facility that offers far more space, while ultimately aiming to cater for more families to help address the current shortage, read the full detail here https://bit.ly/4818pdP
The upgrade was made possible thanks to $448,250 from the Australian Government Department for Education through the Community Child Care Fund Program under the Open Competitive Round 3 grant opportunity. Council is matching the grant with a dollar-for-dollar investment (a requirement of the funding criteria).
Also, a reminder that alternate access to the facility is in place throughout the project. Anyone needing to access the centre will need to park in either of the Leisure Centre car parks and follow the paths to the rear of the centre (refer to the map below).
Council will provide updates as the project progresses over the coming months. Anyone with specific queries can contact the centre on 8645 4030.
