The plan introduces three new retirement living apartment buildings alongside the carefully retrofitted convent, while extending residential aged care provision to accommodate up to 210 residents with varying care needs. A dedicated community hub forms the social heart of the development, incorporating function spaces, dining venues, wellness facilities and healthcare services. Together, these elements support ageing in place and offer residents a range of lifestyle choices within a cohesive, campus-style environment.

Arrival is defined by views to the convent and its established gardens, which anchor the identity of the precinct. Communal recreation spaces connect to a central piazza, reinforcing the convent’s role as a shared entry and gathering point. The broader site is organised into discrete precincts, clearly separating retirement living from residential care while maintaining visual and pedestrian connections, creating a legible and dignified environment for residents and visitors alike.
