Ground has been broken at Park Meadows by Uniting, with works officially commencing for the project’s expansion in Westmead. The new development will address the needs of the growing number of seniors in Westmead and neighbouring suburbs, creating a welcoming community where every stage of life is supported with exceptional care and services.
This milestone was marked with a Welcome to Country and smoking ceremony performed by a Darug Elder, alongside a symbolic sod-turn at Park Meadows by Uniting. It was attended by residents of both the retirement living village and the residential aged care home, along with Simon Furness, Director of Property and Housing at Uniting, who all celebrated the growth of this thriving retirement and independent living village.
Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Furness said the expansion was testament to Uniting’s commitment to the local community: “Uniting has been providing high-quality seniors’ accommodation and services to the Westmead community for over 50 years. This expansion of Park Meadows by Uniting means we can continue to provide a continuum of care for our local seniors that prioritises independence and wellbeing, alongside the security of staying close to those they know and love, even as care needs may change.”
Set for completion in mid-2027, the new village will provide a variety of amenities for existing and future residents, their families and local community:
- 153 quality independent living apartments, bringing the total number of apartments to 223
- 171 parking spaces
- Indoor pool
- Spacious gathering and relaxation areas, including activities, children’s playground, village green, designated BBQ areas, and alfresco dining and lounge areas.
Adrian Ciano, Head of Property Development at Uniting, said Stage 2 is the final step in realising Uniting’s vision for the Westmead community: “The new development at Park Meadows will address the increasing demand for high-quality, contemporary accommodation for seniors in our local area. We continuously look for ways to enhance and expand villages such as Park Meadows, ensuring that our services provide for people well into the future.”
