Westpac Leading Conversations: retirement living is essential infrastructure
The present and future role of retirement living was put under the microscope at the latest Westpac Leading Conversations at the Wharf in Sydney.
Should retirement villages be classified "essential infrastructure" in planning regulations?
That was one of the 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
