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.
