BREAKING: Development approval has just been granted for a new 95-place childcare centre adjacent to Burraneer Bay Public School. The Sutherland Shire Council confirmed the decision on December 18, signaling a significant expansion in local childcare options.
The facility, located at 167-169 Burraneer Bay Road, will be constructed on a double block of land currently housing a single, heavily vegetated home. The ambitious project is set to cost nearly $5.8 million and will feature both an outdoor play area and a level of basement parking, accommodating 24 vehicles—including nine spaces for staff and 15 for visitors.
Construction plans include a childcare centre designed specifically for children aged 0-5 years. Operating hours will be from 7 AM to 6 PM, Monday through Friday. The development aims to provide a nurturing environment, complete with shaded outdoor play areas, various surfaces for children’s activities, and a landscaping plan that retains the residential character of the area.
The proposed centre will join a network that already includes four existing facilities in western and south-western Sydney, enhancing access to quality childcare for families in the region. As the demand for childcare services continues to grow, this development is expected to make a substantial impact on local families.
Authorities expect construction to commence shortly, with many local parents eagerly anticipating the opening of this new facility. This urgent update underlines the ongoing efforts to meet community needs and improve educational resources for young children in the area.
Stay tuned for more updates as this story develops, and to see how this new childcare centre will benefit the Burraneer Bay community.
