Grant District Council's independent planning assessors have given the green light to the $2.72m re-build of The Oaks Nursing Home. Council planning and development director Leith McEvoy said the approval was given for a 42-bed new facility at the Yahl site. He said the current facility would be demolished and an entire new building would be built. "It will be a state-of-the-art facility in terms of design and features," he said. Mr McEvoy said the plan was altered to incorporate improved energy features and designs following a request by council's Development Assessment Panel.
