Panorama housing upgrade
AnglicareSA has lodged development plans with the City of Mitcham to replace our units on Ontario Avenue in Panorama with modern, fit-for-purpose affordable community housing. We have also purchased a neighbouring site which will enable us to expand the facilities to incorporate specialised disability accommodation and green, open space. The development will include ten architecturally designed two-storey townhouses consisting of two and three bedrooms fronting Ontario Avenue. Behind the townhouses will be a predominantly three-storey
apartment building consisting of 24 one and two bedroom apartments. The majority of these apartments will be set aside as affordable homes for people over 55 years of age. Up to eight apartments will be purpose-built as supported accommodation for people with a disability. The proposed rebuild will include a large centrally located shared garden and open space as well as on-site car parking for all residences. We expect this exciting new development to be completed by mid to late 2020.
Securing services and support
AnglicareSA has purchased a portion of the old Coca Cola Amatil site at Light Terrace, Thebarton.
The 9,500 square metre site will be developed into multi-storey affordable and social housing and an AnglicareSA service centre. The services hub is likely to include community aged care, homelessness and disability services. This is the third key metropolitan site secured by AnglicareSA in an effort to achieve the long-term sustainability of its services for the South Australian community. AnglicareSA recently purchased a new site for its southern operations in Noarlunga, as well as signing a new 99-year lease for the Elizabeth Mission site in the north. Bruce Linn, Chair of the AnglicareSA Board, said securing long-term sites was a strategic investment to future-proof the provision of much-needed services for the community. “Ultimately, these acquisitions will also result in significant financial savings and improved efficiency in the delivery of services,” Mr Linn said. “As South Australia’s largest social services provider, we have a duty to maintain robust financial responsibility and governance in order to continue our important work across the state.” Plans for the Thebarton site are being developed and are subject to planning approvals. It is hoped construction will commence in 2019.
