erbas™ delivered engineering services across a bundle of four Early Learning Centres for the Victorian School Building Authority (VSBA) as part of the Victorian Government’s Best Start, Best Life program. These projects expand early childhood education across Victoria by providing purpose-built facilities co-located with primary schools, improving accessibility for families, supporting smooth transitions to school, and creating high-quality learning environments for young children. Three of the centres have been successfully delivered, while Cohuna Consolidated School is currently in delivery with completion scheduled for 2027.
erbas™ is providing multidisciplinary engineering services for the Early Learning Victoria Cohuna centre at Cohuna Consolidated School, which is currently in delivery and scheduled for completion in 2027. The Victorian Government-owned facility, operated by Early Learning Victoria, will provide long day care, three year old kindergarten, and pre-prep programs, with space for up to 102 children each day. The purpose-built centre will include indoor learning spaces, outdoor play areas, a maternal and child health consulting room, a community room for meetings and playgroup, and carparking. Co-located with the school, the project is being designed to enhance accessibility for families, simplify drop-offs, and support smooth transitions into primary education, while meeting the community’s growing early childhood education needs.
