New aged care village on the way for Weston, ACT
Weston in the ACT will soon have a new $143 million aged care village, with provider LDK receiving the thumbs-up from the National Capital Authority.
The Yarralumla Views village will contain 55 two- or three- bedroom single-storey villas and townhouses as well as 261 one- and two-bedroom units in four buildings of up to five storeys each, alongside a “care hub” and clubhouse.
LDK CEO Byron Cannon told Riotact that he hopes to begin construction soon with permission from the ACT Government to buy adjoining land for fire remediation.
Community groups are still concerned about the potential impact on traffic in the area and will advocate for a new bus stop and traffic lights.
