A development application has been lodged with Central Coast Council to establish a childcare centre at Warnervale for 161 children.
The plan is to amalgamate two lots, 141 and 143 Railway Rd, demolish the existing structures, and remove 30 trees to accommodate the new childcare centre across the one combined lot of 3,899sqm.
It is in an area zoned for low-density residential development and the proposed hours of operation are Monday to Friday, from 7am to 6pm.
There will be 25 staff to care for the 161 children with 27 in the infant to two-year age group and seven staff, 37 aged two to three with eight staff, 47 in the three to four year age group with five staff, and 50 children with five staff in the four to five year age group.
