New Cerebral Palsy Centre Sydney

For the past 65 years, The Spastic Centre has been located at Allambie Heights providing much needed support services for people with cerebral palsy.

Following a fire of the Centre’s previous buildings and facilities in 2007, DEM Architects were engaged to prepare a Master Plan to provide an opportunity for The Spastic Centre to consolidate, upgrade and enhance their existing facilities.

The Master Plan included:

• a new purpose-built Cerebral Palsy Centre to house administration, training and therapeutic facilities, facilitating treatment and research of cerebral palsy,
• a new Spastic Centre Services Centre to provide future on site facilities for on-going Cerebral Palsy treatments programs, employment training programs and employment options / opportunities for clients;
• six (6) apartment buildings comprising 130 apartments self-care independent living units for the aged and disabled and
• a new multi-purpose community centre,

Town planning services included preliminary planning investigations to optimise the site’s redevelopment potential, preparing the Master Plan and accompanying Statement of Environmental Effects for a Staged Development Application.
