At last night’s Council meeting, Council unanimously determined to approve a development application which will allow the Li’l Achievers Childcare facility to be significantly expanded. The proposed development will increase the capacity of the Childcare Centre from 24 children to a maximum of 80 children.

Council considered a number of public submissions in relation to the proposed development and worked with the developer to ensure that any concerns were addressed as part of the approval.

“We are fortunate to see much needed childcare places are becoming available as our Community grows and I’m delighted to see this development go forward.”

“There is an identified need for increased childcare facilities in Gunnedah and this kind of development will help attract and retain young working families and improve the skill capacity of the local workforce.” Mayor Chaffey said.
