The centre's development application, pending sufficient documentation, was unanimously carried by councillors on Tuesday evening after discussions about speed zoning, road safety and logistics.

Councillor Pam Halliburton raised concerns at the meeting over the speed zone along the Olympic Highway, where the centre is proposed to be erected.

"I do have concerns about the access ingress and egress to the centre, because it's not far out of the 50km zone and into the 80km zone," Cr Halliburton said.

"I think we need to seriously consider extending the 50 zone if this is to be approved, particularly being in an area where the road is going downhill and vehicles naturally tend to speed up."

Cr Halliburton said there was the additional worry of road safety with small children expected to frequent the site.

"We are talking about little children here with young mothers, they can do all sorts of things in the back of a car and cause distractions so I really think we should be pushing for a 50km/h zone," she said.

Director of Engineering Services Cole Davis said speed limits were not up to council to decide.

"Speed limits have to be supplied to RMS for approval and 90 per cent of the time they are rejected, so it would be a long process but something to consider," he said.

The centre plans hope to have a capacity of 102 children and 17 full time equivalent staff. Councillor Robin Asmus suggested in the meeting that road safety was also a responsibility of staff members at the facility.

"A childcare facility has a responsibility to the children themselves," he said.

"Look at schools in Wagga for example on Red Hill Road - staff manage compliance around roads and cars with the students, so the DA on its own merits should still be considered anyway without other road safety measures."
