DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION

VIEWLAND DRIVE, NOOSA HEAD

8th February 2021




Youngcare is pleased to provide the following information in support of the Development
application at Viewland Drive Noosa Heads.

Youngcare Residents

Youngcare supports young people from 18-65 with High Physical support needs in high quality
purpose-built accommodation across Queensland (and soon to be nationally). It is proposed that all
residents that call the development at Viewland Drive home, will be approved by the National
Disability Insurance Scheme as needing High Physical Support accommodation as defined by the
Specialist Disability Accommodation guidelines.

Care Support

To support residents in their homes, Youngcare and our residents of Viewland drive and their
families will complete an exhaustive approval process to nominate an approved Care providers for
the residents on site. Within their scope they will provide care 24 hours a day 7 days a week to
residents and there will be staff on-site 24/7. The number of staff will be determined by their SDA
care package and nominated by the NDIS.

Residents accessing the community

Within our current portfolio of completed projects, residents with High Physical Support needs who
Youngcare assists, do not drive and do not own vehicles. They primarily utilise taxis and Approved
Care Providers vans to access the community.

A proportion of Youngcare residents at Viewland Drive will have PowerDrive wheelchairs that have
the capacity to travel up and down the sloped footpaths as experienced in Noosa.
