Gum Nut Gully Preschool to remain at current site

Council has resolved not to support a proposal to relocate Gum Nut Gully Preschool to a new modular building in Corsican Reserve, Doncaster East.

Instead, we’ll advocate to the State Government for the necessary funding to plan and build a custom-designed facility at the preschool’s current location in Larnoo Drive.

Council made the decision at the 25 November Council meeting.

We received 279 responses to our Your Say Manningham survey and also received a petition with 967 signatories. Feedback was overwhelminghly in favour of keeping the preschool at its current site, with 98% of survey respondents against the proposal to move it.

Thank you again to everyone who shared their thoughts and experiences – we have listened to your feedback on why the preschool’s bushland setting is so important and your input has been vital in reaching our decision.

We will continue to work with the preschool committee, families and the community on ensuring local children receive high-quality educational experiences.
