Precis

• A panel discussion on the role of retirement living into the future, considering
• environmental issues, including legislative support, financial considerations, and banking
• Reviewing, reconfirming or recreating their service offer and strategic development plan for the near future (Not BE specific but informs the built form ultimately)
• Portfolio review including condition status and prioritising assets.
• Strategic master planning to complement or help shape the strategic plan
• This may lead to Development Application work to position the site for construction readiness (can be significant cost to this)
• Some test fit planning to see what could possibly be developed on their sites. (Sites are super valuable things. Esp existing sites in good locations)
• Conducting visioning workshops to shake out re-lifing potential or other possible uses for their assets going forward
