The Merrifield team is excited to announce that it has secured its first childcare centre.

The new childcare centre will commence construction later this year, and is planned to cater for up to 150 children.

It is anticipated to open in mid-2017, which will be welcome in our growing community of young families.

The Hume City Council places strong importance on educational infrastructure in the region, and is pleased with the securement of the first childcare centre at Merrifield.

“With significant population growth within the Hume region expected over the next 10 years, schools and childcare facilities are extremely necessary in any new development,” stated the Hume Mayor, Cr Helen Patsikatheodorou.

“The vision for Merrifield was always set to create a sustainable way of life for its community, complete with a living and employment precinct, lifelong education options and a thriving city centre. Another two schools are earmarked for the site along with another a kindergarten and multiple childcare centres once the population reaches certain thresholds,” said Matthew Planner, Director of Merrifield.
