Mr Cornwell asked the Minister for Planning, upon notice:
Concerning residential aged care facilities, is land set aside for such facilities:
1) Near John Knight Park, Belconnen; and
2) Gungahlin Town Centre.
Mr Corbell
: The answer to the member's questions is as follows:1) The Belconnen Lakeshore Masterplan identifies Block 6 Section 87 Belconnen as a possible site for aged persons' facilities.
A Planning Study has just been completed that looks at the suitability of the site for a retirement complex. The Study identifies about 6 hectares on the corner of Aikman Drive and Ginninderra Drive Belconnen as a suitable site for a 100 bed hostel/nursing home and 150 aged persons' units.
2) A number of sites have been identified in the Gungahlin Town Centre as being suitable for aged care facilities. The former Gungahlin Development Authority has had ongoing discussions with potential providers. It is planned for the release of suitable sites in the near future.
The pilot public sector land development project, Yerrabi 2, has provision for up to 12 blocks suitable for older persons housing. These blocks will be sold in August this year.
