Delivered under an Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) to Design and Construct contract, Wallarah Point Care Community reflects our strong and collaborative relationship with Opal HealthCare. The new community complex delivers a modern, high-quality aged care environment designed around resident comfort, operational efficiency and long-term performance.

A key feature of the build was the construction of a fully tanked basement structure, located below the water table and required specialist proprietary tanking to ensure long term waterproofing and durability. The basement accommodates car parking, storage, a commercial kitchen and laundry. Above ground, the façade combines face brick and aluminium standing seam cladding to create a contemporary residential character that integrates with the surrounding community.

Construction required careful planning and coordination, including the safe demolition of existing dwellings. Collaboration between design consultants, subcontractors and site teams was integral in resolving technical challenges, particularly those relating to façade detailing and waterproofing, while ensuring consistently high standards of quality and finish throughout delivery.

Sustainability initiatives were embedded across all stages of design and construction, including rainwater harvesting for garden irrigation, passive ventilation to common areas, solar panels, LED lighting, low VOC paints, energy-efficient fixtures, and planting selections designed to reduce water consumption. These initiatives reduce long-term operational costs and contribute to a healthier environment for residents and staff.

The four-storey community provides 123 beds, including 100 bedrooms and 77 single rooms, designed to support a wide range of care needs such as residential, respite, palliative and dementia care.
