Aged Care
Thoughtful planning for multi-level aged-care facilities in existing, well-established suburbs allows people to age in place, facilitates the delivery of high-quality care, and can add diversity, interest and added amenity for the whole community.

ALFRED COVE
Opal
CLE Town Planning + Design assisted Opal Aged Care to obtain planning approval for a three-storey, 120 bed residential aged care facility within an established low density residential precinct of Alfred Cove. This proposal superseded a previous controversial proposal for the site and delivered a sensitive and place-appropriate outcome through the Joint Development Assessment Panel approval, providing a solution to the undersupply of aged care accommodation within the City of Melville. The team carefully managed community consultation prior to the lodgement of the application.
CLE Town Planning + Design’s experience in residential aged care, the negotiation of proposals through the Joint Development Assessment Panel Process and experience in the delivery of built form projects in established infill areas contributed to a positive planning outcome for the Opal Alfred Cove project.
