Fairway Expansion Project
Building modern aged care facilities for the future of our community.
CHAIRPERSON’S SPECIAL RELEASE
We’re building an even better Fairway
After a six-year journey from the initial proposal to final construction, we are thrilled to announce that the Fairway expansion is officially complete. Having received our occupancy permit and certificate of completion, we can finally celebrate the end of two years of building works.
We extend our deepest gratitude to our residents, families, and staff for your incredible patience, as well as to the Board for their vision in creating a space that maintains Fairway’s signature vibrancy while providing high-quality residential and dining facilities.
The new ground-floor kitchen and dining areas are now fully operational, offering an elevated culinary experience. As we transition to this new service, the Activities Room has officially reverted from its temporary use as a dining hall back to its original purpose. We appreciate your continued patience as our team settles into these new operational routines.
Refurbishments continue across the facility to ensure a seamless look between the new and original sections. Over the next two months, we will finalise the interior fit-out with new artwork and décor. Meanwhile, the courtyard upgrade is well underway with veranda painting and shade sail repairs; weather permitting, we expect this area to reopen before Easter.
Broad improvements to our corridors are also progressing, starting with House 4, where new lighting and fresh paint are being finalised. Once House 4 is complete, these upgrades will roll out sequentially through Houses 2, 1, and 3. Additionally, we are currently sourcing quotes for new carpeting throughout the older ground-floor sections to ensure our entire home reflects the high standard of the new expansion.
We are incredibly proud of this milestone and look forward to these spaces serving the Fairway community for many years to come.

Accessing Fairway During Construction – Using the City of Bayside Car Park
Fairway is on a strict licence agreement with the Bayside City Council. It is imperative that our stakeholders support us in ensuring that we comply with the agreed arrangements at all times.
- Our delivery and collection zone (just outside the waste collection area) can only accommodate one vehicle at a time. Fairway requests that no other vehicle lines up, as such may obstruct access to the Council car park.
- Service contractors are expected to use a parking space other than the designated delivery and collection zone (e.g. street parking).
- Note that no parking is permitted in the Council car park (other than in the Fairway Licensed Area car parks) between the hours of 8:30 am and 5 pm Monday to Friday. Parking in the council car park can only occur outside the permit zone hours as displayed on the signages in the car park.
- While there is a quick drop-off parking slot outside the temporary reception area through the Bayside City Council car park, the intention is to use it for no more than 10 minutes.
- Â residents, families, staff, volunteers, and health practitioners; and
- for deliveries, and collections of waste,
FAQs
As Fairway’s exciting expansion nears completion, we understand you may have questions about our enhanced parking facilities and access arrangements. With our new 16-space basement carpark at 195 Bluff Road opening soon, plus continued use of the carpark at 206-208 Bluff Road, we’ve created a comprehensive FAQ guide to help you navigate these improved arrangements.
Our detailed guide covers everything from who can use which carpark and how to access them with seasonal PIN codes, to visitor space allocations, safety features including CCTV and lighting, and alternative parking options on Spring Street. Whether you are a resident, family member, healthcare professional, or first-time visitor planning to tour our new House 6, this guide provides clear information about parking times, entry procedures, and what to expect.
