Annerley is gearing up for a significant transformation with a proposed development that will bring a four-storey childcare centre, cafe, and office space to 309-311 Ipswich Road.
Designed by Prospect Architects, the project aims to revitalise the 1,438 sqm site currently occupied by a single dwelling and three Braille House buildings.
The proposed childcare centre will have a capacity of 148 children and feature seven activity rooms, a 1,079 sqm outdoor play area, and a dedicated laundry and kitchen. The development also includes a 908 sqm office space and a 125 sqm cafe, catering to the needs of residents and those working within the complex.
The building’s design incorporates setbacks, articulation, landscape buffers, and acoustic barriers to ensure harmony with the surrounding residential area. The ground floor entrance will feature stonework elements, adding a touch of elegance to the timber and tin structure.
The development will include 58 car parking spaces, with access from Young Street and Palmerston Street. Pedestrian access will be provided from Young Street, and a formal lobby entrance will be supplied on Ipswich Road.
Urbis, the project’s planning consultant, stated that the proposed changes are minor and aesthetic and will not significantly alter the approved built form or impact the streetscapes or surrounding residents.
The proposed development, with a gross floor area of 2,138 sq m and 88% site cover, is set to transform the Annerley landscape and provide much-needed childcare facilities and commercial spaces.
