Thoughtful planning for multi-level aged care facilities within established suburbs enables people to age in place, supports the delivery of high-quality care, and enhances community diversity and amenity.
Queen Victoria St, Fremantle
Bethanie Group
CLE was engaged for its planning services to progress this important social housing project in Fremantle. As the planning lead, prepared all planning documentation associated with this mixed-use proposal for an over 55s social housing and specialist disability accommodation on Queen Victoria Street. The proposal included a commercial ground floor tenancy and fifty multiple dwellings on the remaining levels, within a seven-storey development.
This important project required ongoing collaboration with the City of Fremantle, with regard to the existing heritage values of the surrounding area and resolution of challenges associated with developing in this prominent and established location in Fremantle.

Alfred Cove
Opal
CLE assisted Opal Aged Care to obtain planning approval for a three-storey, 120 bed residential aged care facility within an established low density residential precinct of Alfred Cove. This proposal superseded a previous controversial proposal for the site and delivered a sensitive and place-appropriate outcome through the Joint Development Assessment Panel approval, providing a solution to the undersupply of aged care accommodation within the City of Melville. The team carefully managed community consultation prior to the lodgement of the application.
CLE’s experience in residential aged care, the negotiation of proposals through the Joint Development Assessment Panel Process and experience in the delivery of built form projects in established infill areas contributed to a positive planning outcome for the Opal Alfred Cove project.
