Redevelopment at Westbourne Park
Resthaven Westbourne Park is currently undergoing a $46.5 million transformation at 30 Sussex Terrace, Westbourne Park.
Commencing in June 2023, the redevelopment will take two years to complete and will provide:
- Increased onsite car parking to reduce traffic along Norseman Avenue.
- A new entrance, cafe, and hall.
- A casual meeting/recreation area surrounding a large central garden area with water feature, a variety of seating and a children’s play area
- Sixty-eight of the original rooms will be demolished and replaced in stages through the construction of five new areas.
- Wellbeing improvements, such as increased natural light and more external garden outlooks, will be incorporated into the design.
- Landscaping across the home will focus on sensory and seasonal planting, wide, accessible pathways, and feature lighting.
- The project also has a clear focus on environmental sustainability, to minimise the carbon footprint of the home. This includes a large rooftop solar system and energy efficient heating systems.
- The architects, Brown Falconer Group, have designed a cloister style courtyard to maximise the central garden space to create an innovative solution to integrating the site.
‘To ensure we were on the right track, we undertook stakeholder engagement and co-design workshops in late 2021, with residents and families sharing their ideas and suggestions.’
Thank you to the local neighbouring residents for their patience and understanding during this major building program.
