Milleara Gardens Kindergarten Redevelopment

Site Plans for Milleara Gardens Kindergarten (PDF) have now been finalised. The project remains on track for opening in January 2027.

Demolition is due to begin in June and residents will receive communication in coming weeks prior to this starting.

Should you have any concerns during this time please contact the kindergarten redevelopment team.

To facilitate construction of the new kindergarten, a number of trees are required to be removed as part of the approved development works. Council acknowledges the importance of maintaining and increasing canopy cover and has planned substantial new tree planting within the local area to help offset canopy loss associated with the project and support long-term urban forest outcomes. The VSBA will replace all removed trees, and Council will contribute to planting offsets. Council’s Parks and Gardens and Open Space teams are in the early stages of considering tree and planting plans.

We recently sought your feedback on the Milleara Gardens kindergarten redevelopment.

• Our team consulted with local community members at our on-site pop-up event on Saturday, 6 December, 10am.
• Our online survey closed on Wednesday, 17 December 2025.

Thank you to all who had their say on what they’d like to see for the future of Milleara kindergarten, to help us shape a welcoming, inclusive, and inspiring environment for children and families.

Council is now considering feedback received and will provide updates on next steps. For further information, visit our Your Say page or reach out directly to our project team at KindergartenRedevelopment@mvcc.vic.gov.au

Community consultation is now open! While many aspects of the project, such as funding allocation and overall design, are guided by the scope of this government-funded project and regulations within the early years, we value and encourage your feedback on this project. We are seeking to create environments that reflect the needs and desires of our community.

Have your say by visiting the Your Say consultation page and completing the survey by 17 December 2025.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at KindergartenRedevelopment@mvcc.vic.gov.au.

Due to delays with opening Lincolnville Kindergarten, Milleara Gardens will now stay open for Term 1, 2026, to place children who were scheduled to attend Lincolnville in this time. We do not anticipate this delaying the opening of Milleara Gardens in 2027.

Scheduled to begin in 2026, this project is due for completion by January 2027. This project is currently in its planning phase and consultation will be available for this project in late 2025.
