Baptistcare has been given the green light to explore a range of options to create new accommodation choices for seniors in Rockingham as part of the dynamic Challenger Precinct Redevelopment.
The Challenger Precinct land which has been earmarked for seniors accommodation offers a unique opportunity to consider innovative and contemporary solutions to meet the needs of Rockingham’s rapidly ageing population.
Approval was granted by the City of Rockingham to Baptistcare to commence project scoping and feasibility studies, following a formal Expression of Interest process.
Baptistcare CEO Russell Bricknell said Baptistcare is looking forward to working with the City of Rockingham to assess the project’s potential and gain a comprehensive understanding of the community’s needs.
“We’ve been providing care, support and retirement living options for seniors in Rockingham for almost 25 years, so we are thrilled to continue our relationship with the local community and plan a new era of accommodation and services,” he said.
“Our philosophy of putting people first and delivering support tailored to each individual’s needs is very much in line with the City of Rockingham’s vision for the Challenger Precinct Redevelopment.”
Russell said project planning is in its early stages, and will involve extensive community consultation and a staged roll-out over the next decade, subject to City Council and Baptistcare Board approvals.
This project aims to meet future needs and provide design and construction solutions that put Rockingham at the forefront of contemporary accommodation for seniors.
“We intend to take the time necessary to properly plan and engage with local representatives and residents,” Russell explained.
“Delivering accommodation choices that are fully integrated into the overall Challenger Precinct and can be built with minimum disruption to existing residents and the surrounding community are key drivers for Baptistcare for this project.”
