1.2     Proposed Development
S5 Environmental understand that Lutheran Community Care propose a Master Plan Concept for a
‘Care Farm’ development which will be a multi staged development of a 80-100 bed facility comprising
dementia care, transitional care and a respire facility. The Concept Master Plan indicates proposed
infrastructure as follows:

       Respite Care in a farm and garden environment;
       Palliative Care overlooking the dam
       Central Services Building located at the entry of the site;
       Dementia Care in a farm and garden setting;
       Nature Study Centre located adjacent to the forest and riparian zone;
       Cottages for volunteers and support staff near the care facilitates; and
       Cottages for disadvantaged groups located around the dam and overlooking the riparian
        zone.
The proposed ‘Care Farm’ development has been consolidated in the northern extent of the site and
is considered an ecologically sensitive layout and retains the most significant ecological features of
the site. Refer to Extract of the BVN Site Plan in Figure 3 below and within the Figures Section of
this report.
