Major project starts at aged care home
A major building project at a Woy Woy aged care home has started.
"Perimeter builders fencing will start to be put up from today," said Blue Wave Living chief executive Mr Matt Downie last Tuesday, March 1.
"Around The Shores building itself, the fencing will essentially follow the gutter line of the building, including into the courtyard spaces as these areas are being rebuilt.
"This will allow residents to still access outdoors directly outside their rooms, on their patio areas.
"The undercover area off the main dining area will also remain accessible to residents.
"There will also be site wide fencing established, with the rear of the site essentially fenced off for the builders and contractors.
"As from Monday, March 7, there will be no vehicular access around the rear of The Shores, other than for builders' access.
"Hospital staff will be entering the car parking to the rear of the site from Vidler Ave.
"Construction access will be via Edward St.
"Residents, staff and visitors are to continue using BlueWave Living main entry off Kathleen St.
"Plans are on display outside the staff room."
Mr Downie said the majority of the work for Stage One involved new construction on both the east and west ends of The Shores building, and new infrastructure and roads to the north of The Shores.
"There will also be works undertaken in rebuilding and expanding our main commercial kitchen as part of Stage One."
