Ocean Street
Bondi
The Benevolent Society (TBS) owns a site in Ocean Street, Bondi of which there is currently a circa 1880 heritage home with substantial curtilage, two self care facilities plus a Childcare Centre.
In pursuing their long history of community and charitable objectives, TBS seeks their development to be a highly advanced model of a scheme developed in The Netherlands called the Humanities Model. The 18 month process has entailed exhaustive analysis of demographics, community consultation, applicable and acceptable planning regulations, marketing, valuation and financial modeling.
TBS are highly mindful of wanting a design that is acceptable in the community and has maximum return for the residents of the local area.
Cadence Australia was commissioned in January 2007 to assist TBS with advice in the development of the Ocean Street site to meet their brief.
Beyond the standard project management role, Cadence Australia has managed an array of reports and designs for TBS including;
- Financial modeling that is responsive to social and charity based inputs.
- Introduction of a measurable ESD targets and goal setting.
- Coordinating a design that seeks best practice in wellness, adaptability and other aged care objectives while having a capped income model.
- Given the site is zoned “Special Uses”, Cadence Australia has managed the research of a broad array of solutions and impacts in the overshadowing, view impact, height, bulk and density of the development.
- Integrating community consultation in light of altered traffic generation.
Cadence Australia’s 5 years of experience with the Prince Henry site and Little Bay has given us the knowledge and background to deal with the extensive issues resolved in this type of Development.

Niagara Park Residential Village for Seniors
Niagara Park is planned to be a major Ageing in Place and Aged Care facility located on the NSW Central Coast, close to a major urban corridor, with proximity to a railway station, shopping centre and the Gosford CBD. The site of 21,925m2 is dissected by Narara Creek and has a bushland aspect.
The development comprises a vertical retirement village with 194 retirement units, with basement garages, specialty retail outlets and significant community facilities, with staged delivery over 4 stages with a total cost of $57M.
The project involved significant community liaison and stakeholder management .
Significant environmental and build ability challenges were also a major part of this development with construction on steep land along the edge of Narara Creek. The end result being a tiered vertical village with all units having on grade accessibility compliance to all common areas and from every single unit.
Cadence Australia have been involved with a wide range of tasks on this project including feasibility study, management of authorities including the Department of Water & Energy, RTA, Gosford City Council and developing the concept design to the Operations brief and Aged Care Plan proposed for the Village.
Everglades Retirement Gardens
Everglades is a major aged care facility on the NSW Central Coast. The 11,660m2 site contains a very rare remnant of Umina Coastal Sand Plain Woodlands.
The proposed development involves 52 aged care units over 2 levels with a basement car park and associated facilities, nestled in the centre of the woodlands with a north easterly aspect and a creek running along the western boundary.
Project staging is 6 months for infrastructure and subdivision, 15 months for the delivery of Stage 2 (20 units and the community facilities) and 12 months for Stage 3 (the remaining 32 units). The total project cost is approx. $19M.
The biggest challenge for this site was to master plan a development that would co exist with the ecology and environmental colony surrounding it.
Cadence Australia's role involved the management of authorities including the Department of Environment & Conservation, Dept. of Water & Energy and Gosford City Council through the DA phase of the project, and the procurement, appointment and management of consultants through detailed design development to construction certificate stage.
The project has been meticulously designed to meet the Design and Operational brief developed over many years of experience in caring for our Senior Community.
