Regional Retirement Communities Easing the Aged Care Buden

More and more we are finding that upgrades to country retirement communities is another viable solution to the problem of inequitable access to aged care in regional areas discussed by some of Australia’s leading CEO’s in the latest Australian Ageing Agenda . As the Retirement Living Council found in its report Better Housing for Better Health you can take a lot of pressure off the stretched aged care sector by encouraging more ageing in place in retirement villages. The combination of accessible housing retrofits with innovations in healthcare delivery can make a big difference in regional communities struggling to provide aged care.

Five Decades of Retirement Living Excellence

Creating new housing for people to enjoy retirement is core business at KPA Architects. We have participated in 17 major projects in Perth and regional WA, including Bethanie Gwelup Retirement Village, which won the inaugural Property Council of Australia’s Retirement Living Innovation Award in 2017. An exciting new project for KPA is the Collie Riverview Retirement Village in South-West WA, designed to deliver smart contemporary living in a pristine regional setting. As we celebrate 50 years of service, we look forward to continuing to assist our clients in serving their communities with leading projects into the future.

Retirement Living for the Local Community

The Collie Riverview Retirement Living development, designed by KPA Architects, is a good example of housing created for the specific needs of a local community.

KPA Director, Todd Paterson states: “Community-led development is becoming more common with the new generation of retirees”.

The sixty independent living units and clubhouse proposed for Collie Riverview is designed to enable aging in place, in regional WA. The project also reflects the latest survey by National Seniors Australia, which found retirees want more housing choices based around local activities and needs.
