Global real estate agency CBRE is offering The Learning Sanctuary Tarragindi, a purpose-built 95-place childcare centre at 200 Toohey Road, to the market as a premium freehold investment, with a long-term lease in place to G8 Education, Australia’s largest ASX-listed early childhood education provider.
The centre sits on a 1,363 square metre site adjacent to Wellers Hill State School, in one of Brisbane’s most consistently family-dense suburbs. It operates under a 15-year lease to G8 Education secured until 2035, with two further 10-year options extending to 2055, giving any incoming owner more than three decades of potential tenure with a nationally recognised operator. Expressions of interest close on 12 March 2026.
For Tarragindi families, the sale changes nothing in day-to-day terms. The centre continues to operate normally under G8’s Learning Sanctuary brand, which has operated from the Toohey Road site since the purpose-built facility opened its doors in early 2020. The listing is a straightforward property transaction, not a closure or change of service.
A Suburb Built for Families
The Learning Santuary listing reflects the suburb’s standing as one of Brisbane’s most sought-after family postcodes. Couple families with children make up 56 per cent of Tarragindi’s population, reinforcing the suburb’s appeal to those seeking quality schools and a supportive family environment. The centre’s median household income of $2,934 per week sits 59 per cent above the Greater Brisbane median, and the suburb’s median house price is 44 per cent above the Brisbane average, reflecting the depth of owner-occupier demand in this part of the southside.
Tarragindi’s boundaries are largely defined by the Southeast Freeway and Toohey Forest, with the main residential valley running north to south between Wellers Hill to the east and Tarragindi Hill to the west. Its position roughly seven kilometres from the Brisbane CBD, combined with easy access to the South East Busway and proximity to Wellers Hill State School, makes the Toohey Road site particularly well-located for working families.
The Learning Sanctuary itself is purpose-built across multiple levels, with extensive outdoor environments including a climbing fort, bike track, water play area, sandpits and a vegetable garden. Indoor spaces include a dedicated STEM room. It serves children aged six weeks to six years across long day care and kindergarten programmes, drawing families from Tarragindi, Nathan, Greenslopes, Holland Park West, Moorooka and Annerley.
Early Childhood Education as an Investment Class
The Tarragindi listing is part of a dual campaign run by CBRE, which has simultaneously listed a G8-leased centre in Cowra, New South Wales. CBRE reported almost $440 million in childcare investment sales nationally in 2025, reflecting sustained transaction activity in what the agency describes as a resilient investment sub-sector, underpinned by essential service status, long lease terms and consistent federal funding support.
G8 Education operates more than 430 centres across Australia under 21 brands, caring for around 50,000 children each week through a workforce of close to 10,000 staff. Australia will invest more than $16 billion in early childhood education and care in 2025–26, giving investors in long-leased assets a stable and reliable operating environment.
Brisbane will grow by 28 per cent to 3.288 million residents by 2035, and that growth will fuel strong demand for childcare places across established suburbs. In areas such as Tarragindi, where family households dominate and character residential zoning limits new supply, that demand is likely to remain strong.
