Forty-five independent living units and a residential aged care facility are to be delivered in the historic Gold Creek Homestead precinct, following a successful tender process by the Suburban Land Agency.
Minister for Housing and Suburban Development, Yvette Berry said the redevelopment would also see the original Gold Creek Homestead, Stone Hut Kitchen and Slab Hut conserved and restored.
“Lendlease were announced as the preferred tenderer in March 2021 and it’s fantastic to now have the redevelopment locked in with the exchange of contracts,” Ms Berry said.
“The Lendlease tender concept best captured the place and community values of the historic site,” she said.
“It will ensure Gold Creek Homestead’s preservation in the future and is the exciting start into the next chapter of its history.”
Ms Berry said future uses and potential tenants of the Homestead would be explored through the Agency’s ongoing community engagement process.
The Minister said a public walking and cycling link through the site would connect nearby residents from Maray Place and the existing path along Gungahlin Drive to the Homestead historic precinct.
Senior Development Manager for Lendlease Retirement Living, Arabella Rohde said the company intended to retain, restore and activate the original Gold Creek Homestead and ensure the design of the precinct respected its rich heritage.
