OSVgroup was engaged by Hutchinson Builders to deliver the external works for the new kindergarten at Westgrove Primary School in Werribee. Delivered under the Victorian Government's Kinder on School Site program, the kindergarten opened in Term 1, 2026 with two rooms for up to 66 children.

Locating the kindergarten within the school grounds supports a smoother transition into primary school and simplifies drop-off for families with children at both.

Scope of Works

OSVgroup delivered the complete external works package for the new kindergarten, including:

• Bulk earthworks and site preparation
• Car park construction and associated civil works
• All hard landscaping including pathways, paved areas and edging
• All soft landscaping including garden beds, planting, mulching and turf establishment

Key Features

• A new car park supporting safer, simpler drop-off and pick-up for families using both the kindergarten and the school
• Hard landscaping connecting the kindergarten to the wider school grounds
• Soft landscaping that softens the new building and gives children a green, planted outdoor environment from the day the centre opened

Lasting Impact

The completed works give Westgrove Kindergarten a safe, finished and welcoming outdoor setting from its first term, with a car park and landscaping designed to serve both the kindergarten and the primary school it sits within.

As the planting establishes, the grounds will continue to mature alongside the children who use them, supporting the kindergarten's role as a familiar first step into school life for local families.
