The operator, which is part of UnitingCare Australia, is adding 11 new apartments, a garden reserve and caravan parking areas, to its standalone retirement village in the locality between Port Elliot and Victor Harbor, 67km west of South Australia's capital city Adelaide. 

Resthaven CEO, Darren Birbeck, and Executive Manager Community Services and Retirement Living, Mel Ottaway, were joined by Brown Falconer Managing Director, Mario Dreosti, along with Kennett Builders Director, James Kennett, and General Manager, Anthony Carbone, to ‘turn the turf’ for the 7-star energy rated village.

"Keeping with the green credentials of the village, the additional landscaping will use carefully selected plantings that complement the environmental rating of the village," Darren Birbeck, CEO, said.

Last month, it agreed to own and operate 11 Aveo Group villages in South Australia. Resthaven operates 20 retirement villages and delivers residential and community care services throughout the state. The operator will take over 799 units across the Aveo villages.
