James MacDonnell and Mark Holmes are also listed as directors at Marmac Childcare. Mr Mason, who with his wife Janette has owned the Dalton Drive centre for eight years, said his business operated at 80 per cent capacity. He said councils needed to better consider demand on childcare services when approving new centres. There is a school of thought is that the Maroochydore city centre will create demand for services like childcare, he said. That development has been happening over 10 years and we have two finished buildings, it s a very slow build. Mr Mason said there were three new centres approved for Maroochydore, equating to more than 300 additional childcare places.
