Recap: Developing Australian Communities Expo
Nesti’s latest SDA begins
Two purpose-built homes will be constructed in Beechboro to meet growing demand for Specialist Disability Accommodation in Western Australia, with the first soil turned by the project stakeholders last week. This block will soon become customised homes for six people with disability to help meet their individual needs and maximise day-to-day independence.
The property development will be lead by WAI Group, with Nesti Housing as the Specialist Disability Accommodation provider, and Nulsen Disability Services deliver the supported independent living services.
The blueprint for supported living
Located 13km from the Perth CBD, 100m from public transport and less than 500m from a supermarket and café, the residences have been designed to comply with and exceed SDA and NDIS standards. Each property is architecturally designed with three bedrooms, as well as large corridors and living spaces so participants can navigate the home with ease, step-free paths, adjustable kitchen benches, movable cabinets and height accessible light switches and power points.
Residents will have their own bedroom and ensuite and access to a kitchen, generous living spaces and an outdoor area. There is also a separate bedroom, office space and bathroom for overnight support care professionals.
WAI Group Director Paul Stanley said the Beechboro project was the latest investment in a slate of inclusive SDA homes by WAI Group across the state. “WAI Group is as proud leader in Specialist Disability Accommodation and affordable housing in WA. Together with disability and supported independent living providers, we are committed to increasing stocks of SDA properties.”
Nesti Housing Managing Director James Allbeury said everyone deserved a safe, accessible, inclusive home. “At Nesti Housing, we believe everyone deserves a home that supports their independence and dignity. This project in Beechboro is a great example of what’s possible when like-minded partners come together to deliver high-quality, purpose-built housing that truly meets the needs of people with disability.”
“We’re proud to play a role in creating homes that offer both functionality and choice.”
Nulsen Chief Executive Officer Caroline Watt said SDA housing is a game-changer for people with complex disability.
Fortitude Living and G Living architect-builder Gianpaolo Crugnale said the Beechboro project had been designed to meet the personal needs of participants, while using best-practice architecture and construction. “The needs of future residents have been central to the planning of these homes, with designs that blend practical ideas and comfortable living. Our expertise and creative approach ensures each project we work on is tailored to the people who will ultimately live there.”
We’re excited to bring you construction updates as the project takes shape.
