Young St kindergarten set to be upgraded

Published on 13 July 2026

Parents with children due to start kindergarten from 2029 will have a beautiful, upgraded facility to consider: Young St Kindergarten in Bacchus Marsh.

The kindergarten is set to receive major improvements, with a $1.2 million Council commitment, that is supported by $750,000 in Victorian Government funding through the Building Blocks Improvement Early Learning Facility Upgrade stream. 

The upgrade will create brighter, more modern and welcoming spaces for children to learn, play and grow.

“We’re very excited to undertake this project and create a wonderful space for our kinder children coming through in the next few years,” Mayor Cr Steve Venditti-Taylor said.

To allow the works to be completed safely and efficiently, Young Street Kindergarten will be closed during the 2028 kindergarten year. 

“Council understands this will be a change for families, and officers will work closely with the kindergarten provider to keep families informed early and support them with alternative kindergarten options during this time.” 

Once complete, the upgraded kindergarten will offer improved learning spaces for children and educators and increase kindergarten places, helping more local families access kindergarten close to home. 

“This is a wonderful investment in early years education and in the future of local children and families,” Cr Venditti-Taylor said.

Further information will be shared with families and the community as planning progresses.
