A new childcare centre is being proposed for Robbs Road in Morayfield, right next to land already earmarked for a future state school, signalling more infrastructure on the way for the area’s rapidly growing population.
Plans lodged with Moreton Bay (DA/2025/3100) reveal a single-storey childcare centre at 115–125 Robbs Rd that would cater for up to 124 children and employ 18 staff. The centre would include a 1000-square-metre outdoor play area, 43 on-site parking spaces, and would operate from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on weekdays.
The two-hectare, triangular-shaped block is located beside a larger cleared and fenced site on the corner of Robbs Rd and Hauton Rd. That neighbouring block, locals may recall, was confirmed last October by State Member for Morayfield Mark Ryan as the future site of a new state school.
The proposals come as Morayfield South continues to expand. Around 10,000 new homes are planned for the area, which is expected to house roughly 26,000 residents in the coming years. To support this growth, three new state primary schools are in the works—one of which is set to be built right next door to the proposed childcare facility.
“Council officers advised that the proposed land use is considered to be an appropriate use for the site given the growing residential catchment and proximity to the future school site subject to detailed development application,” planners stated.

“The proposed Childcare centre is also regarded to be consistent with the Emerging community zone code. The proposal is also considered to provide quality childcare and early learning facilities to cater to the needs of families of the changing Morayfield community.”
With Robbs Rd increasingly seen as a key transport corridor, locals can expect more development and investment to follow as the community evolves to meet future demand.
