Joy Burch is letting us know she’s sold more land for the purpose of building childcare places in the increasingly stalinist ACT land release system:

Ms Burch said the Land Development Agency had this week sold the 3,505sqm corner block with frontage to Anthony Rolfe Avenue and Hinder Street for $2.4 million to developer Kai Wen Developments Pty Ltd.

“Targeted land release for new childcare centres is part of the ACT Government’s significant investment in childcare to support the sector to grow and to provide more childcare places for Canberra families,” Ms Burch said.

In addition to the required childcare centre, the Gungahlin site allows for possible additional uses including residential dwellings, restaurants, shops or serviced apartments.

It’s required to offer “at least 80 places” so we’re betting it will be 80 on the dot.
