Uniting has been providing community health and aged care services in Waverley for over 100 years. We’ve been planning for the future and looking at ways we can restore and enhance the Uniting Waverley Estate for many years to come.
Uniting Waverley envisions a vibrant future, while celebrating the Estate’s significant history. We aim to evolve our aged care and community services, tailoring them to meet the changing needs of the Waverley community. Our focus is on person-centred care that fosters health, connection and wellbeing.
Uniting War Memorial Hospital will continue to operate all of its services through the redevelopment and beyond. The proposal will complement the hospital and enhance the services we offer.
The masterplan
Why are we proposing to enhance and unify the Uniting Waverley Estate?
Renew and expand the services offered onsite in new, fit for purpose accommodation that aligns with community expectations and the recommendations from the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety.
Continue the legacy of service to the community for another 100+ years. If approved, the Estate will be home to approximately 400 seniors.
Meet the increasing demand for seniors independent living homes and services* that support ageing gracefully with dignity. The Hospital will be part of this continuous care.
Introduce more green open space, gardens and amenities for both residents and the community to use. Our goal is to unify the Estate, enhance its useability and expand the range of services it offers to the community.

Where is the project up to?
Uniting has further refined the masterplan and submitted a State Significant Development Application for the Uniting Waverley Estate to the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI).
The revised masterplan included in the application is shown below.
You can view the full State Significant Development Application on the DPHI’s website. This package includes the community consultation outcomes report.
The State Significant Development Application is on public exhibition until Wednesday 9 April 2025. It will be reviewed by DPHI and is expected to be determined in late 2025.
The revised masterplan
Why are we proposing to enhance and unify the Uniting Waverley Estate?
Uniting recognises that there has been increasing demand for seniors housing and services that support ageing within your home of choice*. We’ve been working on plans to meet this important community need.
Revitalising the Uniting Waverley Estate will enable us to provide a diverse range of housing options and health and aged care services that support people as their health and care needs change. If the plans are approved, the Uniting Waverley Estate will be home to around 400 seniors.
Our goal is to unify the Uniting Waverley Estate, enhance its useability and expand the range of services it offers to the community.
The proposal will improve the Estate’s streetscapes and accessibility, opening up the central garden and green spaces for the community to use during the day.
