Two stages of expansion are proposed for Ozcare St Elizabeth Villa Aged Care facility in West Mackay, 1228km north-northeast of Brisbane, to meet the need for senior housing.
Stage 1 is 32 units in two apartment buildings, 21 duplexes and 18 townhouses north of the existing facility. A community hub containing a cafe, hair salon, physiotherapist, health clinic and a gym will sit between the two apartment buildings with some facilities open to the public.
Stage 2 will build another 15 units south of the aged care home, which is separate to the proposed location for new staff accommodation.
“The proposal... will help ensure residents can remain close to friends and family while still receiving the level of care they require throughout the later stages in life,” Ozcare told Mackay Regional Council.
