We’re delighted that Narwee Parklands Care Community by Opal HealthCare has been approved as one of the first NSW Senior Housing Developments under the new State Significant Development Application (SSDA) pathway.

Our vision for Narwee Parklands Care Community is to enable residents to live with dignity, purpose and belonging while receiving high quality care delivered by capable and compassionate team members.

A beautiful Care Community which will include vibrant gardens and recreational areas, Narwee Parklands is designed with connecting people at its heart - to specifically to meet the needs and personal choices of people as they age.

Narwee Parklands Care Community will:

Meet the growing need for seniors living in the Canterbury-Bankstown LGA
Respond to the open space in keeping with local character and landscaping
Take advantage of proximity to local sites such as Roselands Shopping Centre and other key community facilities
Generate local jobs growth and employment opportunities”

Delivered in collaboration with Ethos Urban, the design by Architect GroupGSA has been guided by connecting with Country, and paying respect to the traditional significance of ground and sky in Dharawal lore. Narwee Parklands will provide 165 residential places with private ensuites, a café, outdoor BBQ and shaded al fresco dining, multifunctional deck, exercise areas, children’s play area, water features, a dedicated memory care neighbourhood for people living with dementia, and onsite parking.
