The direct sale of the O’Connell Education site at Griffith for a 160 bed aged care facility has been agreed. The redevelopment of Morling Lodge and Griffith site has been commenced. A block in Stirling was sold in 2009 for aged person's accommodation. The ACT Government is continuing to identify potential sites (infill and greenfield) for affordable aged accommodation, and is working with service providers to assist in site selection to match their needs. The Government has partnered with the Master Builder's Association to open its second display home that will model an adaptable and accessible housing design which enables people who are older, and people with disabilities, to remain in their own homes as they age. Stage Two of the Affordable Housing Strategy commenced in August 2009,, to identify further ways to provide affordable housing for older Canberrans.
