15 Dove Avenue, Winter Valley VIC

Yours Alone

• Your own bedroom

Shared with the Household

• The kitchen
• The living and dining areas
• The laundry
• The outdoor area
• The onsite overnight assistance room

Connected, Calm and Practical

• The main kitchen, meals, and family area sits at the centre of the home, creating a shared space that feels open, usable, and easy to move through.

This part of the home supports everyday routines: preparing meals, relaxing, spending time with others, receiving support in a natural residential setting.

• The kitchen connects directly with the meals and family area, helping reduce unnecessary movement between spaces.
• In a High Physical Support home, that kind of simple, connected layout can make a real difference to comfort, confidence, and daily flow.
• A separate lounge near the entry gives the home another flexible living space. It can be used for quiet time, visitors, or as a second place to relax away from the main shared area.
• This added choice is valuable in shared SDA living because it gives participants more control over how they use the home throughout the day.

Personal Rooms with Ensuite Access

• The home includes two SDA participant bedrooms, designed to give each person their own private space for rest, routine, and personal control.
• The bedroom arrangement supports privacy while still allowing support to remain nearby when required.
• Each participant bedroom has access to its own ensuite, helping reduce reliance on shared bathroom spaces and supporting more dignified personal care routines.
• This arrangement can be especially important for participants who need assistance with transfers, showering, dressing, or other daily supports.
• Ceiling hoist provision is included to the participant bedrooms and ensuites, supporting future equipment needs and helping the home remain suitable for long-term High Physical Support living.
• Built-in robe storage and air conditioning provision also support comfort, routine, and everyday practicality.

Accessible Design for Daily Routines

• The kitchen is designed to support daily living in a way that feels practical and familiar.
• It includes: Accessible kitchen requirements, provision for an adjustable bench, a wall oven, cooktop, sink, dishwasher, pull-out pantry storage, task lighting above work areas
• The layout allows participants to remain connected to the meals and family area while cooking, receiving support, or spending time with others.
• Rather than feeling separate or difficult to access, the kitchen remains part of the everyday rhythm of the home.
• The open living and dining arrangement also supports SIL operations by giving support workers clear, practical spaces to assist without crowding participants. This helps the home function well for real daily routines, not just occasional use.

Responsive Support with Respectful Separation

• The home includes a dedicated OOA room so overnight support can be provided when required. This gives participants, families, support coordinators, and SIL providers confidence that assistance can remain close by.
• The layout keeps participant spaces and support spaces clearly considered, helping maintain privacy while still supporting timely response.
• That balance matters in High Physical Support SDA, where a home has to be support-ready and still feel like home.

Fresh Air Within Easy Reach

• The home includes an outdoor living area connected to the main living space, giving participants a simple and usable place to spend time outside. This provides another option for quiet time, fresh air, or relaxed social moments without needing to leave the property.
• The outdoor area works as a natural extension of the home, supporting a more flexible daily routine. It gives participants another setting for rest, regulation, conversation, or a quiet change of environment.
• For participants, this adds choice and comfort.
• For support teams, it creates another calm space that can be used as part of everyday wellbeing and routine.

Support-Ready from Day One

• 15 Dove Avenue has been designed from the start to support High Physical Support requirements while still feeling like a real home.

Together these support safer and more predictable daily living: the single-level layout, step-free access principles, wide circulation requirements, accessible door hardware positioning, reinforced sanitary walls, slip-resistant flooring requirements, emergency power provision, assistive technology readiness.

The home also includes fire sprinklers, smoke alarms in bedrooms and living areas, high-speed internet and Wi-Fi coverage provision, lockable windows, laundry provision, garage access, useful storage.

• These details help the home work well for both participants and SIL providers over the long term.
• The result is a home that supports accessibility, safety, and support delivery while still preserving warmth, privacy, and a residential feel.
