In March 2024, just a few weeks after construction works commenced, Banksia’s appointed builder Project Coordination entered voluntary administration. Banksia management has worked hard, alongside our appointed Project Managers Constructive Dialogue Architects, to minimise the impact to residents and staff and restart the works as soon as possible. Works recommenced on 17 June 2024 after management successfully n
egotiated termination of the contract with Project Coordination and entered an agreement with new builder, Edwards Construction.
Banksia has a long history with Edwards Construction who were involved in the original construction of Banksia Lodge and parts of the village, and we welcome the opportunity to work with them again on this project. The construction period is projected to be 44 weeks with practical completion to be achieved in May 2025. In the meantime work continues on preparing staff and residents for the new household model of care which will be implemented once Banksia Lodge reconfiguration works are complete.
