Your real odds
Only two partnerships have been approved province-wide, so competition is low, but the threshold of 52–74 new spaces is a substantial capital commitment that disqualifies most applicants before they start.
Few operators will meet the space requirement, and those who do appear likely to receive the credit.

Worth knowing
The credit totals $10,000 claimed over five years, which is a modest return relative to the capital required to build or renovate a centre at that scale, so treat it as a minor offset rather than a primary funding source.
