A new childcare centre with space for 88 kids has been approved for Parramatta.
The centre will be located at 4 Rosehill Street, with City of Parramatta Council approving plans last week.
The property is a corner block with Rosehill Street to the south and Carrington Street to the west, and on the broader block bounded by Crimea Street in the north and Denison Street in the east.
A single storey local heritage listed residential cottage known as “Sherbrooke” is located on the site.
The Development Application proposed to repurpose the heritage dwelling for staff and administration facilities. Part of the cottage will be demolished to allow for a connection to the new facilities.
The childcare centre will feature capacity for 28 children aged zero to two, 30 children aged two to three and 30 children aged three to five.
It will operate from 7am-6pm on weekdays.
Expected to be known as Sherbook Childcare Centre, work is expected to begin in the second half of the year now that approval has been gained.
