THE State Government is yet to reveal the cost of a child care centre it will build in Wedderburn.
A letter distributed to parents last Friday by Early Learning Victoria and  Victorian School Building Authority said work on the Wedderburn College site will “begin in coming weeks”.
The letter said a builder had been appointed and preparation works will include demolition, fencing and heavy machinery work.
“The new centre will be run by Early Learning Victoria. It is one of 50 government-owned and operated kindergartens to be bult across Victoria in communities where they are needed most. This project shares in the $14 billion committed by the Victorian Government,” parents were told.
While promised to be open for the start of the 2026 school year, parents have been told that it will be finished in the first quarter of next year.
The new centre will provide long day care, three and four-year-old kindergarten for up to 90 children.
