The successful execution of this ambitious endeavor required meticulous planning and careful implementation to cater to the specific requirements of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). LOCATION: Hiedelberg West BUDGET: $600,000 COMPLETED: 12 months Select a tab Budget and Timeframe Goals, Objectives, and Unique Features Target Audience and Impact Challenges and Solutions With a budget of $600,000 over 12 months, the project aimed to convert two existing housing commission houses into a 9-bedroom boarding house. This comprehensive project required careful planning and execution to meet the specific needs of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). A key objective was to ensure the new boarding house was fully accessible and suitable for NDIS participants. Through thoughtful design and construction, the project successfully transformed the properties into a fully NDIS-compliant boarding house, enhancing functionality and accessibility. This project catered to developers and investors looking for expertise in project feasibility, planning, and execution, particularly for NDIS-compatible developments. The transformed boarding house now serves as a prime example of how property can be adapted to meet niche market demands, offering valuable insights for similar future projects. A significant challenge was the requirement to retain the original brick structures to bypass the planning application process. By retaining the original facades and integrating them into the new design, the project not only adhered to regulatory guidelines but also preserved the character of the neighbourhood, all while creating a modern, accessible living space.
