Peninsula Villages’ 114-bed ageing in place development, Pozieres House, has won a 2021 Master Builders Association Excellence in Construction Award at the Master Builders Association of NSW (MBA) Awards on February 19.
The Grindley Construction development, which opened in late 2020, won the Aged Care Buildings up to $35M category.
The MBA Award is recognised throughout the industry as the hallmark annual event for the commercial, industrial and civil engineering sectors.
The $30M Pozieres House development includes specialist aged, palliative and dementia care units all housed within separate households to ensure continuity of care between staff and residents.
Retired CEO of Peninsula Villages, Shane Neaves, led the project in 2019-2021 and said the organisation was “extremely proud to have partnered with Grindley Construction.
“The design of Pozieres House took into consideration how we can meet the consumer directed care standards more effectively now, and into the future, as well as showcases the beautiful area and surrounds of its location,” Neaves said.
“I was delighted to attend the MBA awards ceremony last week joining the Grindley team as well as Claudia Rosznercki from RZK Group and Nick Winberg from Centurion Group.
“The success of this project was certainly assisted by the truly collaborative and supportive team that were involved.
“Pozieres House was born from a fantastic vision from our Board of Directors and was made possible by our planners, hard work from our builders, and, very importantly, support from the local community.
“It is always rewarding to have hard work recognised and this award is exciting not only for the project team and Peninsula Villages, but for our local community to celebrate having an award-winning project right in their neighbourhood.”
The development, designed by RZK Group, includes an onsite beauty salon, café, theatre lounge room, activity space, physio and wellness centre, as well as consulting rooms for easy access to GPs and allied health professionals.
