The Henry Brooks Estate, 12km S of Woollongong will feature 90, two and three-bedroom villas, and eight one-bedroom villas for older single women, partially funded by a Federal Government ‘Building Better Regions Fund’ grant of $634,500.

The village is being developed on land adjacent to IRT's existing William Beach Gardens and Kemira communities on Kanahooka Road.

The units will feature dementia-friendly design principles throughout the village grounds to help residents achieve optimum quality of life while ageing in place.

IRT CEO Patrick Reid says the two- and three-bedroom villas will be available for sale from January 2020.
