Initiatives Achievements

Continue to identify development sites throughout Canberra for a mix of housing developments that enhances the provision of affordable aged housing.

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 has been commenced.

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 ACT Government has partnered with industry to open a 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 home as they age.
