North Lakes Development – joining Brisbane’s trendy, northern hub

Youngcare has partnered with the Catholic Archdiocese of Brisbane and Moreton Bay Regional Council to build an integrated, mixed use development. The complex will comprise of:

seven two bedroom accessible apartments offering onsite and around-the-clock care to cater to residents’ individual needs
a café, rehabilitation therapy tenancies and retail outlets on the ground floor

The mix of uses is designed to engage the external community, create vibrancy and ensure that young people with high care needs are fully integrated in a true community, avoiding isolation and segregation. Development will commence before the end of the year.

The development is just one project Youngcare has in place to work with government and private investors to see the 28,000 Australians eligible for Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) funding under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) gain access to quality housing appropriate for their lifestyle and care needs.

“There are currently around 2,500 young Queenslanders with high care needs living in inappropriate accommodation like aged care, hospital rooms and institutionalised housing, with more than 200 living in the Moreton Bay Region,” – Anthony Ryan, Youngcare CEO.
