The Goal
The project aimed to deliver a high-quality child care facility that meets growing demand in the Wembley Downs area while responding carefully to its residential setting. Key priorities included safe access, well-oriented outdoor play spaces and a design that sits comfortably alongside neighbouring homes and nearby school uses.
A community-focused early learning facility designed to fit seamlessly within its neighbourhood.
Our Role
Working alongside the client, architect and specialist consultants, TBB Planning supported the planning pathway for the proposed child care centre. Our role focused on guiding the proposal through assessment, ensuring planning considerations were addressed clearly and consistently.
This included coordinating technical inputs, supporting design review discussions and responding to community feedback during advertising. A collaborative approach with the City of Stirling and the project team helped test concerns, refine the proposal and ensure decision-makers had confidence in the project’s overall merits.
The Outcome
Wembley Downs Child Care secured development approval for an 82-place early learning facility following consideration by the Joint Development Assessment Panel. The approval confirmed that the proposal could meet local demand while managing traffic, noise and neighbourhood interface appropriately.
The final outcome supports families in the area by providing accessible, well-designed child care close to homes and schools. For the local community, the project demonstrates how early learning facilities can be sensitively integrated into established suburbs through considered design, engagement and planning. For the client, the approval provided certainty to move forward with delivery of a much-needed community service.
