Demolition proposed for disused aged care building

A "development" application has been submitted to Central Coast Council to demolish a disused wing of a Umina aged care facility.

The proposed demolition of Jack Aldous House at Peninsula Village,"along with associated works to make that part of the site safe and secure", according to the application.

The building is a vacant former "hostel" wing at 91 Pozieres Ave, Umina Beach, which is partly one-storey and partly two-storey.

It includes a two-storey part presenting to the Kingsview Dr road reserve

"Jack Aldous House was constructed in the 1970s," the application states.

"It contains independent living units, common facilities and service components, administrative offices, and outdoor areas and facilities.

"The part that is proposed to be demolished is presently vacant but has previously operated as a residential care facility attached to the independent living component."

"It ceased to be used a number of years ago because it became non-feasible to operate and maintain the facility in compliance with all relevant regulatory standards."

The disused building was used as a vaccination facility for health care workers during the coronavirus pandemic.

"Temporary fencing has been installed around the building to prevent unauthorised access."

The application states: "The proposal also involves associated site preparation, architectural make-good works, and levelling and planting of grass on the site after demolition so that the area is safe.

"There is no specific proposal to undertake new development within the area where demolition works are proposed.

"However, it is envisaged that at some future time, under a separate approvals process, the area will be redeveloped in some manner consistent with the overall use of the property as a seniors living development."

The application is currently on exhibition and open for written submissions from the public.

The closing date for submissions is October 21.
