The City of Melbourne is making it even easier for families to access education, care and important family services with a $10.2 million redevelopment of the Lady Huntingfield Early Learning and Family Services Centre.
The upgraded facility in North Melbourne has been designed as a hub for families, offering long daycare, kindergarten, maternal and child health services, family support and counselling, parenting services and playgroups in one central location.
More than 100 education and care places are now available – nearly doubling the capacity of the Centre which has served the community for more than 80 years.
Since reopening in August 2021, Lady Huntingfield has provided education and care for local families across more than 1000 different sessions and appointments.
The state-of-the-art, two-storey building has been designed with a focus on sustainability, and features solar panels, rainwater harvesting, natural ventilation and energy-efficient fittings.
The Victorian Government provided $1.6 million to support the redevelopment through the Children’s Facilities Capital Grant program.
