THE final location for Umina Beach Public Preschool has been confirmed following strong community feedback. Originally proposed in April 2025, concerns about lost playspace led to Member for Gosford Liesl Tesch MP advocating for an alternative. The preschool will now be housed in an existing building (Building A), minimising impact on play areas, requiring no extra parking, and ensuring no disruption to current students. Backed by the NSW Government’s $769M investment to build 100 preschools, Umina’s facility will deliver vital free places from Term 1, 2027.
