🚸 Car Park Design Meets Childcare Viability
I recently helped reconfigure the car park layout of a proposed childcare centre — not to reduce compliance, but to unlock opportunity.
By reshuffling the layout and relocating just two car spaces, we created an additional 24m² of outdoor play area — enough to accommodate 3 extra childcare places.
That might sound small, but here’s the impact:
✔️ 3 places × $150/day × 260 days/year
= ~$117,000 in gross revenue per year
That’s over $100k in annual revenue, simply by tweaking the geometry of the car park — without compromising safety, access, or compliance with AS2890 or the Planning Scheme.
This is why car park design isn’t just about vehicles — it’s about extracting value from every square metre of a site.
If you’re designing a childcare centre (or working on a tight site), it’s worth asking:
💡 Could smarter car park planning unlock more operational value?
