Childcare Centre – Underwood Road, Rochedale

A development application has been lodged for a Childcare Centre, located at 658 Underwood Road, Rochedale.

Designed by ISA Architecture, the proposal seeks a single storey childcare centre over the site, with a maximum building height (under 7.08m high). The proposal seeks a horseshoe shape surrounding the outdoor play area with activity rooms along the side boundaries. 

The centre will be located in the southern half of the site, between the waterway corridor and road dedication. The proposal will demolish an existing dwelling house and structures to facilitate the redevelopment.

The proposed child care centre includes 30 car parking spaces (one (1) PWD) within an open car park area. All vehicle and pedestrian path access is provided to Underwood Road.
