Description

Cloncurry Shire Council intends building a new Early Learning Centre to replace the existing Curry Kids Early Learning Centre. It is expected that the new Centre will assist to reduce the current waiting lists, will also cater for future demand in Cloncurry, and improve current services with the overall offering of a new facility to children and educators.

Objectives

A new state-of-the-art childcare facility that will incorporate best practice design to future-proof the Shire’s early childhood education offering.
A new facility that has the potential to double the capacity of the service will have a positive impact on the local economy. It can potentially alleviate childcare's strain on local families and businesses.
The modernised new facility will have a flexible design that will cater to the changing demands of the community in the future.

Project is currently 90% complete.
