Thomas says price hopes are in the low to mid $4 million range.
Listed childcare provider G8 Education run the 93-place centre at 148-156 Jetty Rd, Curlewis.
“We’ve got strong underlying business fundamentals there — a highly profitable and successful business through a listed tenant on a long lease,” Thomas says.
“All of those meet investors criteria and ensure you’ve got stable, secure income for the long term over years to come.”
Thomas says the focus of investors will be on the fundamentals of the childcare sector, with its government backing, and the tenant, rather than its location in a Bellarine Peninsula population growth area.

He says it explains why the agency has sold a number of new childcare centres across the region, including Bannockburn, Geelong West, Newtown, Ocean Grove and Torquay.
“Developers have a mandate to deliver a type of commercial use, whether it’s childcare or medical or some form of retail, most of those developers are not long-term property people, so they build something to a requirement and they have a tenant and they sell that and exit that development and move on to the next one.”
G8 Education Ltd holds a secure net lease to 2028, with two options to 2048.
