Margaret Ives Child Care Centre Master Plan




Modification to the site boundaries was the catalyst for a masterplan and an opportunity to enger the natural play opportunities desired by the staff and parents. 

A new central amphitheatre, congregation and events area creates a new 'heart' to the external space, surrounded by nature based play, exploration and learning opportunities for the 3 to 5 year old children.

An all abilities circulation track connects the different nodes of play, including a challenging climbing mound and cubby experience, new swings, productive garden, rock lined swale and dirt digging patch, art integration, the existing sand pit and shade structure and pockets of landscaped gardens for quiet reflection.
