The upcoming facility, which is expected to open by early 2026, will be Rockpool’s fifth aged care home in Queensland, joining existing locations in Morayfield, Carseldine, Pelican Waters and Oxley.
The planned development is a six-storey residential aged care facility with 153 beds and 44 sleeved car parks at ground level. The ground floor will feature a combination of administrative offices, staff facilities, shared amenities, and some residential units. The upper floors will mainly house resident accommodation and communal areas.
The Northshore site aims to set a new standard in aged care, with the provider promising a thoughtfully designed environment focused on comfort, hospitality and strong community ties. Rockpool says the new home will support residents to “live their best lives, every day,” with spaces that feel more like home than a traditional care facility.
Construction is being led by McNab, a Queensland-based builder that has partnered with Rockpool on previous projects.
Previously, Northshore Brisbane expressed enthusiasm about welcoming Rockpool Residential Aged Care to the precinct, highlighting it as a valuable addition to their expanding community.
“The proposed 153-bed facility is more than just a place for aged care; it’s a crucial part of our mission to build an inclusive, dynamic neighbourhood where everyone belongs. Together, we’re setting the stage for a future where Northshore Brisbane is the epitome of urban living—rich in experiences, opportunities, and connections.” Northshore Brisbane stated.
