Koondoola SDA Officially Opened

Congratulations to Habilitas on the opening of their latest Specialist Disability Accommodation, proudly designed by KPA.

Located in Koondoola, in the northern suburbs of Perth, this exciting development comprises 3 x one-bedroom modern villas, meticulously designed to meet SDA standards in the Robust category. They will house three NDIS participants and three Onsite Overnight Assistance (OOA).

Built by Cloudbreak WA, the properties are constructed in double brickwork with polycarbonate windows to minimise potential harm. The homes also contain a polycarbonate screen for TV protection on the wall, are wheelchair accessible with wide doorways, and have emergency power backup, among other features.

Each villa boasts modern, light-filled interiors, with private ensuites to every bedroom. The open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area create an airy and light atmosphere. Doors open to a personalised veranda for outdoor seating and large private gardens with more than enough room for a nest swing.

More SDA on the way

Our Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) project in Koondoola is progressing nicely toward its expected completion mid-2025. Designed for our client Habilitas to meet robust standards, and built by Cloudbreak WA, this development will provide three ‘forever homes’ to three residents and their OOAs (On-Site Overnight Assistance).

SDA Housing Pipeline – Supply Data

It looks like the specialist housing sector is leading the way in delivering genuine dwelling diversity, based on recent supply data for new disability accommodation. According to the NDIS quarterly report for the year to September, 60% of new SDA in the pipeline for Western Australia are detached houses, and the remainder is a variety of villas and apartments. It is also good to see WA’s share of planned new SDA dwellings has finally risen in line with its population. There are 755 SDA dwellings currently in the development pipeline in WA, which is 11% of the national supply pipeline. However there remains a significant shortfall in overall supply of SDA in WA.

More details about the NDIS report are available here.
