Eleanor Duncan Aboriginal Services has lodged a development application with Central Coast Council to establish a group home at Summerland Point.
The service provider for medical, health and wellbeing programs for Central Coast Indigenous people is planning to invest nearly $1.7M into the urgently needed group home project at 30 Summerland Rd, opposite Naroo Ave.
Previously the 2.63ha site was an educational establishment and at present it contains various dwellings, classroom-type structures, sheds, hardstand surfaces, a basketball court and dam.
The development proposal includes the retention and repurpose of the existing seven-bedroom dwelling to provide a permanent residence.
An additional eight bedrooms for a permanent and or transitional group home will be provided by way of the installation of moveable dwellings.
The existing four-bedroom dwelling will be retained and used as ancillary offices and consulting rooms which will provide support services and allied health programs to the residents of the group home.
Offices and consulting rooms will be used for the physical, social, cultural and intellectual development and welfare of residents only and will not be offered to the broader community.
Six structures will be demolished including two existing sheds, four structures historically used as classrooms, and the basketball court.
Two other sheds will be relocated and two unhabitable buildings will be used for storage.
Other work on-site to bring the project up to standard will include a new on-site sewer management system, extension and connection of services, site earthworks, pathways, carparks, driveways, a new internal bushfire access trail and landscaping.
