Demolition work expected to start on Monday
Demolition work at a Woy Woy aged care home is expected to start on Monday, June 17.
Barriers have been put up within The Shores building at Blue Wave Living, in preparation for Stage Two works at the home.
"Demolition will involve some noise disruption over a few weeks at various times during the weekdays," said chief executive Mr Matt Downie.
"Also at times there will be disruption to the existing central linkway between the buildings.
"An alternative linkway has been established via the Palm Sails wing and through into Coastal House.
"A revised program from our builder's sees this first part of Stage Two works running through until late January next year.
"We anticipate a break for a few months as we then prepare for the second part of Stage Two works later next year.
"These works we are now undertaking will not increase overall bed numbers.
"It is about rebuilding within our existing buildings to deliver a new standard of environment for our elders in care.
"As outlined previously, Stage Two works will see the completion of Coastal House wing by rebuilding internally throughout the now vacant old rooms and creating a new entry point to this wing.
"In addition, the core central old dining area for The Shores will be completely rebuilt and expanded, removing the existing servery, office and clinic room.
"It will be re-built with more of a club feel to accommodate large functions and activities.
"It will feature a dedicated cinema space, a lounge area with a fireplace, a niche sitting area, and a bar and servery to support large functions.
"There will also be a permanent built in barbecue area in the eastern courtyard.
