A NEW child care centre with capacity for 154 kids has been approved in a residential estate in the booming Ripley Valley and another could also be built next door.
Ipswich City Council has given the green light to construct the two-storey facility in the Ecco Ripley estate with a large number of families moving to the city’s rapidly growing south east pocket.
It will be built on land at 1 Brooking Rise, Ripley and will operate from 6.30am to 7pm. Ink Developments Pty Ltd submitted a development application to the council in October.
Another child care centre with places for 162 kids has been proposed for 2 Brooking Rise with an application submitted in August, but a decision has yet to be made by the council.
