Glenmore Park Care Community is a new three-storey, 154 bed aged care community delivered for Opal HealthCare at the foot of the Blue Mountains. Inspired by Opal’s purpose, “to bring joy to those we care for”, the community designed to enhance resident wellbeing, foster connection, and deliver innovative approaches to care.

The project commenced with demolition of existing buildings and remediation of the site, followed by careful management to preserve significant trees and integrate the new building into landscaped surrounds.

The new building includes a basement accommodating car parking, storage areas, commercial kitchens, laundries, and champion rooms, while the upper 3 Levels provide light-filled resident rooms, thoughtfully designed communal areas, dining rooms, nurse stations, and 2 lifts to provide expanded accessibility. The exterior combines brick and aluminium cladding, offering durability and a modern architectural finish.

Sustainability was central to the design and delivery, aligning with Opal HealthCare’s Caring for our Planet commitment. Together, we implemented a range of initiatives that reduce environmental impact while enhancing resident comfort. This included rainwater reuse tanks to irrigate landscaped gardens, passive ventilation in communal areas supported by smart thermostat controls to minimise energy use, and low-VOC paints to improve indoor air quality. Solar panels were also installed, supporting Opal HealthCare’s pathway toward net zero and long-term energy efficiency.

Since opening, Glenmore Park Care Community has been recognised with an industry award and continues to receive positive feedback from residents, families, and staff. The project reflects a successful partnership with Opal HealthCare and delivers a welcoming, future-focused environment where older Australians can thrive.

Working at Glenmore Park was a fantastic experience. It is not often in my 20+ years of working life that I can look back and say, “I enjoyed the project”. Like all projects, the project had its challenges and lessons learned, but the project was completed on time, on budget, and with a fantastic level of quality. The Grindley team worked well together. They were client-focused while delivering a fantastic outcome for Opal HealthCare and the residents whom now live there. I would not hesitate to recommend Grindley to future clients.
