Winanglo

Independent Living Units Proposal for Winchelsea

Ensuring people who are ageing or have a disability can remain in their long-term community.

The vision of Winanglo is to propose and help with the development of suitable housing options which meet the needs of seniors or people living with a disability in Winchelsea and its surrounding communities.

Winanglo management committee members include representatives of Winchelsea Lions Club, Growing Winchelsea Inc, Hesse Rural Health Service, Winchelsea Community Bank, and interested community members.

The first project is to build 10 small homes suited to older and disabled local people in Winchelsea, to be known as Winchelsea Community Village.

Many senior members of our community are downsizing, selling their homes and wanting to enjoy a more relaxed lifestyle within our fabulous community. However, in doing so they are faced with the reality that Winchelsea does not have sufficient quality, affordable village lifestyle accommodation. Long-term residents are having to move away, leaving behind family, friends, their social lives and connections.

The Winchelsea Community Village aims to fill this void. It will be state-of-the-art in design and beautifully landscaped. The site will be located on the corner of Harding Street and Hopkins Street, next to the Senior Citizens Club and the Anglican Church. 

Proceeds from the project would be available to fund further community projects (of any nature).

The Objective

Provide a local option for long-standing residents that meet the needs of seniors or people with a disability. These may include young people with a disability, healthy active seniors, and those requiring little help with their care.

Community

Integration & Support

The support requirements of the majority of seniors are similar to the community at large. 

Often seniors have no immediate need for support services on-site and can seek external support services when needed. 

Research has shown that only between 4% and 7% of seniors aged over 55 will ever require fully supported care.

Design

Adaptable & Sustainable

Adaptable housing is cost-effective. Research shows that if adaptation is considered at the design phase it can add about 1% - 5% to construction costs compared with traditional housing. 

However, adapting an existing house to provide for disabled access is estimated to add 12 – 25% in additional costs.

Independant Living

Provision of Ageing In Place

Accessible housing fits well with the current preferences for seniors and people with a disability for independent living, and avoids the personal and economic costs that can result from relocating.

About Winanglo Inc.

An independent incorporated charity

ACNC Registered Charity logo
The board of the Winchelsea Community Bank has set up an independent incorporated charity, Winanglo Inc., for the sole purpose of facilitating community projects in and around Winchelsea, Anglesea and Lorne (Win Ang Lo).

The first project is to build 10 small homes suited to older and disabled local people. At present, these people have to leave Winchelsea (the town they know) as there's no independent aged-suitable housing in town.

The site is an ideal location which was originally sold for a peppercorn amount by the Church of England to the old Winchelsea Shire with a request that it be used for aged care. These homes will be state-of-the-art design and beautifully landscaped.

In essence, people will be able to buy a lifetime usage right which will cover the cost of the building. Any maintenance and management mechanisms associated with the usage right will be fully disclosed as necessary at the time of due diligence.  On departure, the unit will be revalued and any capital gain goes to the family.
