Resthaven Murray Bridge Redevelopment

Construction work at Resthaven Murray Bridge is nearing completion

Emmet O’Donovan, Resthaven Manager, Buildings and Capital Projects, says, ‘The final stage of the $16.5m redevelopment of the Resthaven Murray Bridge residential aged care home, at 53 Swanport Road, Murray Bridge is well on its way to completion in early November.’

‘The final Stage 3 includes a new entrance, reception, café and hall, offices and kitchen/laundry. The new hall is an especially welcome addition to the site, which has not previously had a central hall. The site will accommodate 18 new places, bringing the site capacity to 96.’

‘The building looks fantastic. Final touches include a new sculpture by Gerry McMahon, an Adelaide metal work artist, which will be a real talking point.’

Debbie Lindner, Manager Residential Services, says, ‘It is an exciting time in the development that has truly transformed our site.’

‘From today, we are able to use the new entrance and carpark off Swanport Road to enter the site. All visitors are now able to enter from the main road, and there will no longer be entry available from Anerley Road.’

Emmet continues, ‘The new Community Services centre is also nearing completion, with handover and occupation planned for mid-November. Planning and preparations are in full swing for the relocation from the current premises on Adelaide Road.’

‘Resthaven will have a strong presence, from 37–53 Swanport Road, and the new buildings are quite a landmark.’
