Goodstart Early Learning Centre in Clarinda

Securing planning approval for a childcare centre in a residential area can be a challenging process, requiring careful consideration of community needs, neighbourhood character, and minimising the impact on the surrounding area. At Keen Planning, we’re proud to have successfully navigated these challenges to bring this facility to life.

Goodstart Early Learning offers modern facilities and a friendly atmosphere, providing high-quality care and education. With space for 106 children aged six weeks to five years, the centre is designed to meet community needs while maintaining harmony with the surrounding residential area.

The building features a single-storey design with an angled roof and a thoughtful mix of materials, giving it a welcoming, residential character. There’s also a good amount of landscaping at the front. On-site car parking caters for drop-off and pick-up, along with 7 staff parking spaces, making it convenient for families and minimising any impact on local street parking. The substantial landscape strip, which includes a number of canopy trees, will soften the appearance of the car parking area and add to the native vegetation in the area.

We work nationwide. For any planning enquiries, feel free to contact us on (03) 9596 9000 or email info@keenplanning.com.au for any planning questions.
