After a series of venue changes within Mornington, concerted efforts were made to establish a permanent home for Biala Peninsula. By 1990, the building project had advanced to the planning stage. The Shire of Mornington provided the site at Barrett Park, Elizabeth Street on a twenty-year lease (which was renewed in 2008) and building began in 1991.
Programs began operating from the new building in June 1992.
When the Elizabeth Street building opened in 1992 Biala Peninsula provided services for 45 children with 6 staff members.
