A single-storey community centre will also be constructed as the focal point for the overall facility. The centre will support various social and community events and gatherings. It will remain under the control of the management of the retirement facility but will be made available for public hire.

“Ultimately, development of the subject site for the purposes of a retirement facility supported by an integrated Community Centre represents the highest and best use of one of the key sites within the Oxley PDA,” Peakurban stated.

“The proposed retirement facility provides a unique, architecturally designed retirement (over 55s) community within an attractive, bushland setting. The accommodation, amenity and recreation offerings proposed by the Retirement Facility will ensure the provision of an innovative, integrated model for retirement living,” the report reads.
