What you need to know
Coronation Kindergarten will be undergoing a major redevelopment to meet the growing needs of our families in Moonee Valley.
Project dates and updates
30 October 2025
The soil remediation works have now been completed to bring the site back down to natural ground level and removed all fill material. This is required for the foundations of the building but also takes into consideration any future works that may occur in the outdoor spaces.
Some soil contamination and asbestos fragments were identified during the site assessment. It is not uncommon to find some level of soil contamination within redevelopment sites. As the health and safety of the local community is Council's top priority, residents can be assured, all contaminated soil and asbestos have been safely removed in strict accordance with occupational health and safety and environmental protection regulations.
A licensed asbestos removalist was engaged for the removals, and their work was closely supervised by an independent occupational hygienist, who also conducted air monitoring to ensure the safety of everyone involved and the surrounding community. The air monitoring showed 0.0/100 fibres/fields were found which means no further actions were required.
As some contamination was found during site assessment stage, an interim soil management plan was put in place to ensure the ongoing use of the site maintained safety for all users. The site remained undisturbed with adequate capping in place throughout operations.
Features and upgrades
The redevelopment will deliver facility improvements including:
- a custom-designed 2-room kindergarten facility to replace the current single room
- capacity for 25 more children
- a double Maternal Child Health suite.
