Retirement living update

In December, we submitted our Development Application for the first stage of the master plan –  Westering Carter Residences in Childers Street, and in January, the public notification period officially began. This was an important milestone, as it opened the doors for the local community to share their feedback and thoughts on the development. Many North Adelaidian residents expressed their support for the project.

The next step in the progression of the master plan was a submission to the State Commission Assessment Panel (SCAP) meeting, which we attended on 14 May. Unfortunately, planning approval for the premium retirement apartments was not granted.

We know we will have a disappointed community, with more than 330 seniors having registered their interest in the development, including you. 
 
We are incredibly proud of what this development would bring to the North Adelaide area. The proposed apartments not only offered a vibrant community and a premium well-being lifestyle for residents, but with the shortage of housing in the state, we believe this offering would have provided best-practice housing for ageing in place, while releasing traditional housing back into the market.

While we are disappointed with this outcome, we are still committed to the precinct master plan and our vision of renewal, innovation, community, safety, care, well-being and support in the Westering community.

We will be reviewing and considering our options moving forward and will keep you informed.
