Summary of Proposed Uses (residential accommodation and ancillary services)

Blue Care aims to provide a supportive, safe and secure environment for the elderly
through the delivery of their philosophy based on an ‘integrated model’ of
accommodation and services on a new site. The integrated model encourages
interaction with the community and provides the ability for the elderly to stay in
their home for as long as they are able, or desire to do so, and to receive a higher
level care on the same site when the need arises. A feature of this model is that
elderly couples may continue to live in close proximity to one another in the case
that one person requires a higher level of care than the other.

In order to deliver on Blue Care’s philosophy, a range of accommodation and
services need to be constructed on the one site in order to promote community
interaction and provide for varying care requirements. Accommodation includes
independent living units and serviced apartments both for the provision of low care
in the home, and a residential aged care facility for the provision of high care and
specialised care for people living with dementia. Community services include allied
health, respite care and community nursing.

A small group of shops is located adjoining the RAC site on the corner of Ben Lexcen
Drive and Grasstree Court. These shops will be within easy walking distance of all
residents of the facility. A Uniting Church is located on the other side of the RAC at
the end of Grasstree Court and also easily accessible to all residents.

The proposal is consistent with the low-medium density type of residential
development in the area. Low-density single storey ILU villas are proposed in the
area of the facility closer to the existing single detached houses located off Ben
Lexcen Drive. The two storey RAC, Serviced Apartments and ILU Apartments are
located well away from existing residential development but are consistent with
other dwellings in the area.

Landscaping will occur throughout the entire developable area of the site and
external to the facility where desirable. The existing native vegetation will be
retained where possible but mostly removed and replanted where appropriate.

Drainage from the retirement village will be towards the Noosa National Park on the
western edge of the site and from the aged persons home north to the vacant land.
