Box Hill child care centre: Boundary Rd facility proposed

Close to 100 kids may soon roam throughout a bumper child care centre proposed in one of The Hills’ fastest growing suburbs. SEE THE $1.9M PLANS:

A massive child care centre could soon be coming to Box Hill to cater for an influx of families moving to the rapidly growing area.

Development plans, valued at $1.9 million, have been lodged for a 97-place childcare centre at 35-41 Boundary Rd in the semi rural area.

The two-storey facility would feature “inclusive learning” spaces, craft stations and outdoor playgrounds.

“The proposal will provide a valuable role in increasing valuable child care places to the new residential estates currently being developed within Box Hill,” planning documents stated.
