What role should retirement villages play in addressing Australia’s aged care and housing challenges?
That was one of several questions posed by Chris Baynes, CEO of DCM Group, at the latest Westpac Leading Conversations at the Wharf in Sydney, hosted by Westpac and DCM Group, publisher of The Weekly SOURCE.
The panel discussion explored whether existing planning regulations allow innovation in senior housing, if retirement living should be recognised as essential infrastructure, and whether traditional village models could help relieve pressure on aged care capacity over the next decade.
The event brought together:
- Sally Taylor, Managing Director, Retirement by Moran
- Patrick Abolakian, Director of Property Sales and Marketing, HYECORP
- Belinda Hegarty, National General Manager – Healthcare and Professional Services, Westpac Group
