Project overview

Sited for demand.

MPG was engaged to source, negotiate and secure a premium corner site on a busy main road — positioned within the Heidelberg hospital precinct, opposite two hospitals, three minutes from two major medical facilities and 800 metres from Bell Street Mall and its 80-plus specialty retailers.

On that high-exposure corner, MPG is delivering a flagship 102-place, two-storey early learning centre — designed around sustainability and wellbeing, with translucent glazing systems that flood the interior with natural light. On completion it is set to be a new benchmark for childcare design in the area.

The Challenge

A premium corner site in a contested, high-exposure location within the Heidelberg hospital precinct had to be sourced and secured — then navigated through complex town planning before a flagship centre could be built.

The Approach

MPG sourced, negotiated and secured the site, then addressed the complex town planning matters — car parking provision and facade design — through pre-application meetings with Banyule City Council. The centre was designed around sustainability and wellbeing, with translucent glazing that floods the interior with natural light.

The Outcome

A flagship 102-place, two-storey early learning centre opposite two hospitals, minutes from major medical facilities and major retail, and adjacent to significant residential growth — set, on completion, to be a new benchmark for childcare design in the area.

The MPG work behind it
