Aged care home waits for construction certificate
A Woy Woy aged care home is still waiting for a construction certificate to enable it to start Stage Two of its redevelopment.
"We expect works will kick off in earnest mid-June now, with some preparation work potentially commencing a little prior to this," said Blue Wave Living chief executive Mr Matt Downie.
"Stage Two works will be approximately a six month program.
"Stage Two works will see the completion of Coastal House wing by rebuilding internally throughout the now vacant old rooms and creating a new entry point to this wing, much the same as Aqua House.
"In addition, the core central old dining area for The Shores will be completely rebuilt and expanded, removing the existing servery, office and clinic room.
"It will be re-built with more of a club feel to accommodate large functions and activities.
"It will feature a dedicated cinema space, a lounge area with a fireplace, a niche sitting area, and a bar and servery to support large functions.
"There will also be a permanent built in barbecue area in the eastern courtyard.
"Once Stage Two works gets underway, there will be disruptions at times with access between the two buildings.
"The existing link will remain with a slight variation to its path into The Shores building.
"At times, this link will be closed for the builders.
"We have also established a covered link between the Palm Sails building and Coastal House as an alternative.
"We will also be looking to open up the rear access into The Shores building at times to help with access during the building works."
