Langwarrin Child & Family Centre headed to Langwarrin Community Centre

Published on 01 August 2023

At the Council Meeting on Monday 31 July, Frankston City Council formally decided on the location of the planned Langwarrin Child & Family Centre. 

As announced on 9 June 2023, Council delayed a response to ensure all options for a Langwarrin early years centre were taken into consideration. 

A thorough review and investigation has now taken place, and Council has made the decision for the Centre to be situated in a new location at the Langwarrin Community Centre at 2 Lang Road, Langwarrin. 

The proposal was initiated and supported by Langwarrin Community Centre Incorporation as a response to a strategic review of their Centre operations undertaken as a partnership arrangement with Melbourne Business School and Council. 

The community centre location also follows a review of the detailed findings of the community engagement for the Long St Child & Family Centre, including the petition received in January 2023. 

Langwarrin Community Centre is a Council owned facility which will be developed to cater for the Victorian Government Kindergarten Reform requirements to increase the number of funded kindergarten hours.  

Council has also progressed work on a Kindergarten Strategy – community engagement will begin in the coming days.
