Most childcare center developments require a planning permit

At Regal & Fox, we specialize in the legal conversion of residential buildings to medically approved childcare facilities in Melbourne, Victoria. By being well
positioned in Council Planning Approval, Land Zoning, and Car Park Requirements, we provide accurate transformation for Childcare services.

Our feasibility assessments determine the number of FDC places permitted, based on precise calculations of floor area and child-to-space ratios. For a successful
project, we identify Childcare Ideal Locations that align with local supply and demand ratios, giving your center a competitive edge.

We simplify every step of the process: from finding an operator and builder, to ensuring disability access compliance and assisting in getting finance for childcare
center construction. Regal & Fox handles all due diligence, ensuring the property meets requirements for operations, parking, and community needs.

Our Services Cover

Feasibility Assessments

Evaluate property potential by determining the number of FDC places. For example, a 200-square-meter indoor area can host up to 61 children, based on national childcare standards.

Council Planning Approval

Expert navigation of zoning, building codes, and council permits. In Melbourne, this includes compliance with disability access and parking minimums.

Land Zoning Guidance

Ensure your property complies with Victoria's childcare zoning laws. Zone like Residential Growth Zone (RGZ) are ideal for such developments.

Car Park Compliance

Design parking solutions that meet council standards, such as 1 car space per 4 children and accessible parking spots.

Supply and Demand Ratio Analysis

Use demand data to identify high-potential locations. Areas with fewer than 1.5 spots per child indicate strong unmet demand for childcare.

Finding Operators and Builders

Connect with reputable childcare operators and builders specializing in projects ranging from 150-square-meter centers to facilities housing 100 children or more.

Disability Access Design

Develop compliant spaces with ramps, accessible entries, and toilets as per Australian standards.

Finance Assistance

Get help securing loans for centers ranging from $500,000 to $2 million, tailored to your project size.
