Esk’s new childcare approved
Young families will soon have a new childcare option right in the heart of Esk. At the Ordinary Meeting on Wednesday, 9 July, Somerset Regional Council approved a development application for a childcare centre on Ipswich Street, located between the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail and Esk Colonial Plaza.

The 700sqm facility will cater to up to 108 children and include six childcare rooms, two outdoor play areas, acoustic barriers, and 24 new carparks. Somerset Mayor Jason Wendt said the proposed centre would be welcomed by the Esk community.
“Having additional childcare options means our young families have more flexibility so they can live and work in Somerset,” Cr Wendt said. “We look forward to seeing the childcare centre up and running.”
