About the project

We’re building a new early learning and childcare centre at Murtoa College in the Shire of Yarriambiack.

The Victorian Government-owned centre will be run by Early Learning Victoria. The centre will provide long day care, Three-Year-Old Kindergarten and Pre-Prep programs, with space for up to 57 local children in the centre each day.

It will also include a Maternal and Child Health consulting room for local families and a carpark.

Building the centre at the college will help some parents avoid the double drop-off. It makes childcare and early learning accessible and convenient for working parents and carers. It can also make the transition to school easier for some children.

Visit the Early Learning Victoria website for more information about the government operated centres or learn more about enrolling your child at the early learning centre at Murtoa College.

Your new centre’s name

In consultation with local Traditional Owners, Early Learning Victoria Bani Walup (pronounced bar-ne wal-up) has been chosen as the name of the new early learning and childcare centre at Murtoa College. Bani Walup is a Wergaia word meaning little blue tongue lizard.

We used Murtoa College Early Learning and Childcare Centre as an interim name while it was being planned, designed, and built.

Funding

This centre is one of 50 early learning and childcare centres that will share in approximately $14 billion as part of the Victorian Government’s Best Start, Best Life reform.
