70+ Places Childcare in Victoria's Surf Coast for Lease
Where Little Ones Thrive and Businesses Flourish

This is a rare opportunity to step into a fully fitted, purpose-built long day care centre in one of Victoria's fastest-growing coastal communities. With all fit-out, equipment, and outdoor play infrastructure already in place, there is no capital build cost - just a ready-to-trade business in a suburb where childcare demand far exceeds current supply.
No greenfield risk. No DA process. Just a growing community waiting for the right operator.

The Opportunity
70+ Government-Approved Places - Long Day Care
Fully fitted & operational - immediate trading capability
10-Year Lease + 2 x 10-Year Options (30 years total)
CPI rent reviews - predictable, inflation-linked cost structure
One of Victoria's fastest-growing coastal suburbs - population up 39.8% (2016-2021)
GapMap confirmed demand ratio of 2.2 children per available place

Proven Demand - Data Confirmed
GapMap analysis confirms 2.2 children per available long day care place in the local catchment - a clear undersupply signal. Over 7.2% of the local population are children aged 0-4 years, well above the national average of 5.8%. The local population grew by nearly 40% in five years and is projected to add a further 7,900+ residents by 2041. The children are here. The demand is real.

Laundry
Planning Room - educator workroom and administrative space

Staff and accessible WC facilities throughout

Designed with Community in Mind
The reception and parent waiting areas have been thoughtfully designed to create a welcoming first impression, with clear sightlines and a comfortable, family-oriented environment. Tenant feedback was actively sought during the interior design process - including the selection of fixtures, fittings, and finishes throughout the centre. The outdoor play areas were shaped by community and tenant input, ensuring the spaces reflect the nature-play and coastal lifestyle values that local families prize.

Why This Centre Stands Out
Independent and boutique operators consistently outperform corporate chains in lifestyle communities along Victoria's surf coast. Local families value genuine community relationships, educator continuity, and programming that reflects the coastal lifestyle. With current enrolments presenting significant headroom for growth, an incoming operator with an authentic educational philosophy has an outstanding opportunity to build a commercially sustainable, community-loved business.

The lease offers up to 30 years of tenure security, CPI-linked rent reviews, and a fully fitted centre - removing the capital burden and risk of a greenfield start-up entirely.
