Child Care

BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE

As inner city density continues to increase, child care centres are valuable resources.

But finding the ideal location and available land for your new child care centre can be a challenge. While it can be tempting to take a DIY approach when it comes to your approvals, we’re here to tell you that that’s going to throw up more roadblocks in the future.

Instead, trust your child care centre approvals process to the experts. The CIVAC team is experienced in child care construction approval and project management, and ensure your building plans, site, and construction process is compliant right from the start.

Our Town Planning and Project Management team manages all the paperwork for your approvals. We lodge the Development Application on your behalf, liaise with your local council to manage approval and variations, and we’ll notify you of any conditions imposed on your property. We then work with you to prepare construction plans, ensure their compliance with the necessary Australian standards, and then help you receive your construction certificate.

Together, we’ll help you build for the future.

CONFIRM YOUR LOCATION

The location of your child care centre needs to meet legislative and regulatory requirements. You can’t just build one anywhere, and in fact, some locations aren’t zoned to accommodate child care centres at all. If not appropriately zoned, your application would be terminated before it even has a chance.

We help you ensure that the location you’re considering is appropriate and available to build a new child care centre. Our town planners can determine whether your plans fit with the location and character of the area, and we can even advise on other location if your current choice is a no-go.

NEW BUILDS

The look and feel of a new child care centre are both crucial in providing the best possible experience for the children and families using it. But it also plays a big part in getting families through the door in the first place.

We help you create the Architectural Plans that inform the design of your new centre. Our registered Surveyors create a Detail and Level survey to determine the features on your new block. Once this is approved, we can take the drawing file and turn it into an Architectural Concept.

Once this has been approved by the right authorities, we get to work and create an approved Architectural Plan that will see your centre come to life.

RENOVATING EXISTING BUILDINGS

If your child care centre location already features an existing building, it’s highly likely you’ll need to renovate and make structural changes to the layout and design in order to get it up to code.

This can require separate approvals. You may even need to undertake renovations to improve the integrity and safety of the structure itself. After all, you’ve got an important duty of care on your hands.

We help obtain the approvals that make sure that any required renovations, whether they’re for usability or safety purposes, are able to go ahead without a hitch.

VEHICLES AND PARKING

Childcare centres can be busy places, so we help you manage the size, shape, and flow of your car parking areas and determine how your centre interacts with main roads.

Is there adequate parking afforded for your staff? Where do parents drop off and pick up their children? Is there going to be a problem with the current road layout, or is your centre going to interfere with traffic?

Getting the right approvals for the vehicles and onsite parking ensures your staff, children, and parents can safely and securely access and enjoy your site.

TRANSPORT AND TRAFFIC

Ensuring adequate parking for your child care facility is one thing, but managing the daily traffic that it generates is another matter entirely. You’ve got parents dropping their children off in the morning, picking them up at the end of the day, and the regular incidental traffic competing with this.

Will this increase in traffic impact the existing traffic flow of the location? How will this increase in traffic interact with the current road layout?

A busy child care centre creates a lot of activity, so you need to make sure you’ve planned for this and received approval from the local council.

REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

Depending on the size, location, and nature of your new child care centre, we can ensure you get the right reports completed that are specific to your new property.

This can include:

Arborist report. This provides information on any trees that may be impacted by your building.
Geotechnical report. We determine the characteristics of the soil of your property, and whether they’re suitable for your centre plans.
Acoustic report. Child care centres can be noisy places, so we can undertake the assessment to ensure that it won’t impact your neighbours, or identify plans to minimise any potential noise.
