The 2026–27 Federal Budget is reshaping the future of childcare property in Australia.
While increased government investment is set to drive stronger long-term demand for childcare services, new tax settings are changing the way operators and developers need to think about growth, ownership, and exit strategy.
For childcare operators, this shift reinforces a simple but important reality:
The greatest long-term value may no longer come from developing and selling - but from developing and holding well-located, high-performing assets designed for long-term income.
At Mollard Property Group, we specialise in highest and best-use analytics, helping childcare operators and investors unlock the full potential of their sites. Through strategic feasibility assessment and location intelligence, we identify opportunities to improve site performance, enhance development outcomes, and create stronger long-term income-producing assets.
If you are planning your next childcare project or reviewing an existing site, now is the time to think strategically about long-term positioning.
