The Metro North-West Development Assessment Panel has conditionally approved Planning Solutions’ application for a centre at 2 Fomiatti Street in Ashby, owned by Endeavour Properties.
The centre would accommodate up to 86 children and 17 staff members and is near land zoned for a future school.

READ NOWThe five-member panel discussed easements and operating hours at the October 31 meeting, agreeing to modify conditions recommended by the City of Wanneroo to allow it to operate from 6am to 6pm on weekdays, excluding public holidays.
Wanneroo Councillor Sonet Coetzee said that would allow the centre to open earlier if there was demand from parents needing to drop off children earlier.
The panel also changed a condition to require easements for the overall development site to be finalised before the centre could be used, rather than before construction started.
Other conditions related to the bushfire, noise, construction and waste management plans, and one required the landowner to pay developer contributions for public infrastructure.
