A new direction

Treetops, New Farm – a new direction proposed

Built in the 1950s, Treetops was voluntarily taken out of service by Bolton Clarke in 2019.

We considered the age of the property no longer met the standard of amenity that is consistent with Bolton Clarke’s accommodation offering and was not in keeping with changing community and resident expectations.
Despite our efforts to refurbish the property and maintain sustainable resident numbers, we experienced low and declining occupancy.
Since closing Treetops and re-settling the remaining residents, we have carefully considered an alternative accommodation and service offering for this location.

Retirement living proposal

While there is sufficient aged care within New Farm, there is a lack of purpose-designed retirement living options for locals. We are planning to repurpose the site to provide retirement living residences and meet this need.

Locals who love living in New Farm will be able to transition into a modern retirement community with contemporary seniors living apartments, recreation and leisure facilities, social hubs and a range of care and wellbeing services to maintain and sustain autonomy, independence and a high quality of life.

Retirement Living provides comfortable housing and convenient lifestyle options for senior Australians.

Many seniors today want to stay in the vibrant, urban neighbourhoods they have called home for many years, where they can continue to enjoy an active lifestyle, pursue their interests and remain connected to their community, friends and family.
Retirement communities allows our residents to age-in-place and by doing so, to live their best possible life without the challenges of social isolation often associated with downsizing and the move away from established networks.
