With the inclusion of a 150-place childcare centre, a swim school and 80 residential lots in the mix, a new development is certainly making waves in the suburb of Morayfield.
Morayfield Marketplace construction is already underway on Oakey Flat Road and is expected to open in early 2025. Local developer Adpen is behind the project, which is forecast to create about 400 construction jobs and 60 permanent jobs.
The man behind the project is local developer Adam Pennisi. With his own young family at the forefront of his mind, Mr Pennisi saw the potential to make a difference in the community in an area that would greatly assist local families.
Local Services for Local Families
“The decision to build a childcare, swim school and 80 residential lots was all about meeting the real needs of the local community,” Mr Pennisi said. “Morayfield is growing fast and we noticed a significant shortage of childcare options for families here. Adpen carefully studied the area’s needs through an Economics Needs Assessment, which highlighted this demand.
“Our goal is to make a positive impact on the lives of local families by providing essential services that truly enhance their quality of life. We are excited to be part of this community’s growth and to contribute to its future in a meaningful way.”
The development project aligns with the anticipated growth of the Moreton Bay area, which is projected to reach a population of 800,000 residents by 2046. By investing in childcare infrastructure and supporting the recruitment and development of childcare workers, Adpen is working on an aim to support a thriving community while providing essential services to local families.
“By building a state-of-the-art, 150-place childcare and swim school, we’re creating safe and nurturing places that cater directly to the families who call this area home,” Mr Pennisi said. “As a father to young children myself, I want to create environments that foster learning, development and build strong foundations for the next generation. It’s more than just building homes, it’s about helping build a community that supports the needs of the residents living there.”
