14.01.2022 Today we attended the Property Council of Australia’s WA Retirement Living Meet the Leaders Seminar. For the first time leaders of the retirement living industry, from all over Australia, gathered in Perth for this event. Speakers of the panel included ML MacDonald from Masonic Care, Kirrily Lord from Stockland, Jane Monk from Gannon Lifestyle Group, Michael Rabey from Boyuan Holdings and Peter Nilsson from The Village Glen. . The panel reflected on critical issues they have ...confronted in the past and see in the future, and also spoke about nationwide actions including the 8-point-plan and new contract models. . The main topic of discussion today was the mandatory buy-back clauses planned to be introduced into WA in the near future, which are already in place in NSW, QLD and SA. Points and discussions raised about the buy-back clauses included: - The potential to create price pressure with reduced prices of ILU’s in a depressed housing market. - The potential to give customers surety they can release their property and free up funds to move into aged care or elsewhere. . An insightful seminar and we hope it will be hosted in WA again in the near future. . @propertycouncil . . #pertharchitects #waarchitecture #propertycouncilofaustralia #retirementliving #committee #seniorshousing #buyback #retirementvillages #wa #westernaustralia #meettheleaders #housingmarket #creatingenvironments #enhancingpeopleslives @ Hyatt Regency Perth See more

05.01.2022 After going through the COVID-19 lockdown we are back on social media, sharing with you and the world what we love to do and why. . We have learnt a lot from the pandemic, the lockdown and the challenges it presented. We have learnt how resilient and strong our team are, how quickly we can adapt to change and how to move forward in these unprecedented times. The pandemic has brought a lot of struggles, but through these struggles positive outcomes have appeared. The ability ...to work from home, to utilise computer technology to conduct meetings, presentations and day to day office contact. In our personal lives we have used the outdoors more, got our health into swing, started cooking chef inspired meals and spent quality time with our families, even if it was painful at times. . As construction continued through the lockdown, our Opal Treeby project is nearing practical completion and will be handed over to Opal Aged Care in the coming days. It was a different construction experience with the pandemic, however we are proud of the finished product and the team work produced with Opal Aged Care, Perkins Builders and the design team. The entire team adapted to change quickly, which helped produce an aged care home we can all be proud of. .
