CLE Town Planning + Design 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 This proposal superseded a previous controversial proposal for the site and delivered a sensitive and place-appropriate outcome through the Joint Development Assessment Panel approval,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. CLE Town Planning + Design was carefully managed community consultation prior to the lodgement of the application.
