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.
At Numurkah Primary School, erbas™ delivered multidisciplinary engineering services for the Early Learning Victoria Numurkah centre. The Victorian Government-owned facility, run by Early Learning Victoria, accommodates long day care and three and four year old kindergarten programs for up to 102 children each day. The purpose-built centre includes 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 primary school, the project was successfully delivered to improve accessibility for working families, simplify drop-offs, and support smoother transitions into primary school.
