South Burnett Regional Council has given development approval for a new childcare centre on the former Canowindra site in Kingaroy, despite concerns from some local residents about noise and parking.<\/p>\n

The project – to build a kindy that could accommodate 54 children and 15 car parking spaces at 101 Alford Street – was originally approved by the Council in April 2022.<\/p>\n

However, developers Atherton Childcare Investments Pty Ltd submitted a revised design to the Council last October.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The amended design proposed expanding the childcare centre’s floor area by 16 per cent to accommodate 66 children; increasing the number of car parking spaces from 15 to 17; and raising the roof level by about 300mm.<\/p>\n

Officers told the Council the proposed changes were minor amendments to the original design.<\/p>\n

They said two objections to the development had been received, one with concerns about noise and the other with concerns about parking.<\/p>\n

But they believed the developers had adequately answered both of these in the amended design and recommended Councillors approve the project.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Officers also noted the developer wanted to take advantage of the Council’s current development incentive scheme.<\/p>\n

This would mean construction of the childcare centre would need to be completed by December 31, 2025.<\/p>\n

The motion to approve the revised design was moved by Cr Kirstie Schumacher, seconded by Cr Danita Potter and carried unanimously.<\/p>\n
