Funded in partnership with the Queensland Government, the 40 units at Little Mountain, a suburb of Caloundra in the Sunshine Coast Region, are designed to gold and platinum Liveable Housing Australia design guidelines to meet the changing needs of seniors aged 55 plus and First Nations seniors aged 45 and over.
“The units provide seniors a place where they can age in place with dignity. An under-occupancy strategy offered singles and couples living in large public housing properties an opportunity to downsize. This helped us form the new community here at Little Mountain. Their choice to downsize also means more family-size homes are available for those waiting on the Social Housing register,” said Churches of Christ Housing Services’ General Manager of Housing Services Gus Taddeo.
“Churches of Christ Housing Services also included 10 Specialist Disability Accommodation units in the development. These provide a stable home to people with disability who need semi-independent living support but still want to be part of a community. All of this is co-located within our existing campus featuring residential aged care, a community hub, café and aquatic centre,” Gus said.
The $23.1 million Banksia Apartments development is Churches of Christ’s sixth development helping seniors seeking to downsize from larger public housing properties.
