Expansion & development
plans
TLC’s expansion strategy includes
the establishment of two new homes,
one at Armstrong Creek between Gee-
long and Torquay and the other at Clift-
on Hill in Melbourne.
Speaking about the application made
by TLC to Geelong City Council for the
facility to be set up at Armstrong Creek,
Lou Pascuzzi said, “Geelong City Coun-
cil has been very receptive to our plans
for the Armstrong Creek facility that
lies within a growth corridor of 22,000
new homes. Not only will the facility of-
fer aged care and primary care servic-
es to this growing community, but will
also employ over 100 people.”
A 121-bed development is planned
at Clifton Hill, which is within the juris-
diction of the City of Yarra. A number
of community consultation meetings
have been held and it is expected that
final approval for the new facility will
be received soon. TLC’s proposal to in-
troduce significant vertical infrastruc-
ture in densely populated areas has
been well-accepted and is seen as a
means to avoid displacement of resi-
dents from where they have lived.
TLC is also in the process of build-
ing a 125-bed extension at its existing
facilities at Wallington near Geelong.
A community healthcare hub is also
planned here. When completed, this
development will result in a 260-bed
integrated healthcare site.
