Castle Ridge
Retirement Village

Planning and masterplan management for major upgrades to a retirement village in Castle Ridge, featuring 298 new Independent Living Units (ILUs); 327 basement car parking spaces; over 1,700m2 of new community facilities including a gym, indoor pool and activity rooms; and a new community green to form the focal point for events and flexible open space. The masterplan is underpinned by a dramatic increase in accessibility, modernisation and quality of life for residents, alongside a respect for the environment with retention of the majority of significant trees on the site plus 150 new tree plantings. Level 6 has managed key deliverables in the planning proposal and resubmissions, overseen design team responsiveness to Council feedback, achieved tight deadlines and supported swift procurement.
