What happened
Construction planning is underway for a new Huonville Early Childhood Education and Care Centre, which will provide 200 places for local families once completed in the first half of 2028. The project is being jointly funded by the Tasmanian Government, Huon Valley Council, and the Australian Government's Building Early Education Fund. A multi-stage tender process is currently seeking a contractor, with an appointment expected in late 2026.
