The $1.6 million early intervention centre for families at Kinross Primary School, designed by Slavin Architects Pty Ltd, will be available to the community, offering programs and services for families with young children aged from birth to eight years.

The centre will include a health office, general offices, multipurpose rooms, a kitchen, and store rooms for services such as playgroups and child health checks and consultancy.

Construction will start in December and the centre is expected to open to families in mid-2020.
