Regis Bulimba
Regis Bulimba has supported the local community for many years, delivering care and service excellence. As we prepare for a major redevelopment, the last residents are expected to vacate Regis Bulimba in April 2025. Regis remains dedicated to supporting residents, families and employees affected by this decision, including assisting current residents in finding a suitable new home of their choice.
About the redevelopment
Regis Bulimba will be redeveloped and replaced with a purpose-built contemporary aged care home that meets modern aged care requirements, standards, and community expectations while ensuring seamless integration with the local neighbourhood character.
The new home will provide an enhanced living environment for residents, with carefully designed spaces that prioritise comfort, wellbeing, and community connection.
Key highlights of the new aged care home include:
- Capacity: 123 private rooms, accommodating up to 123 residents, with a focus on comfort and individual care.
- Specialist care: A dedicated memory support unit and wellness programs to ensure residents receive personalised care.
- Enhanced amenities: A café, outdoor deck, library, cinema, spacious lounge areas, a dining room, kitchen, and activity spaces.
- Sustainability: Environmentally sustainable design will be a key consideration for the new build, including adopting energy-efficient technologies such as rooftop solar panels, water-efficient fixtures and fittings, and enhanced landscaping to reduce environmental impacts.
- More green space: The design response provides more open space, trees, and landscaping to enhance the streetscapes.
- Improved traffic and parking: A single-entry point from Brisbane Street, with 48 on-site parking spaces for staff and visitors, reducing on-street parking impacts.
