AN aged care facility in Applecross will undergo a $23 million redevelopment, adding a further 61 beds.
Opal Aged Care’s proposal is to demolish a single storey facility on the southern end of its Carron Road property before combining the cleared parcel with newly acquired land from Canning Beach Road.
On that will be built a new three storey facility with bedrooms, communal areas, landscaping and ancillary facilities.
