Here are the steps you will need to take to get approval to build a childcare. There are two stages for the approval process: Development Application and Construction Certificate. Both need to be completed before building can start. Here is also our guide to childcare design which shows the requirements required in NSW and dimensions that should be used.

Part A - Pre-DA

Before lodging the DA it is a good idea to talk to council to see if what you are thinking of is viable or has any issues that need to be resolved.

The consultants mentioned above have been good to work with in the past, we can't guarantee how your experience with them will go in the future though, it often depends on the person you are working with and what is happening with them as well. We have mentioned them only because our past experience with them has been positive, we cannot guarantee anyone else's will be.
