Belinda WILSON (Narre Warren North) (09:59): I had the pleasure of visiting the construction site of the new Hallam early learning and childcare centre. This facility is set to provide a range of services, including day care and three- and four-year-old kinder programs, which is going to be a game changer in Hallam. It will have the capacity to accommodate up to a hundred local children each day, offering much-needed care and early learning opportunities for families in my amazing community. The centre is designed with a focus on practicality and accessibility and features an array of excellent amenities. Some key highlights include a beautifully designed outdoor play area that will encourage exploration and physical activities and a maternal and child health consulting room providing essential services for all parents. These thoughtful additions will make a highly convenient and accessible option for parents and carers. It will create an education hub from maternal and child health all the way through to secondary school in Hallam. A big thankyou to Chris the project manager and Chris the site manager for taking the time to give us a really detailed tour. It was excellent to see the construction progress, and I am really looking forward to seeing the finished facility at the end of the year.
