The opening of Rutherglen’s new aged care facility has drawn significant attention, closely followed by growing community curiosity about the future of the former High Street complex.
The recent sale of the site has sparked widespread interest.
All that is known about the new owners is that they are a national consortium and eager to reassure the community of their commitment to Rutherglen.
While the consortium operates across Australia, its approach remains firmly community-focused, with an emphasis on local and long-term benefit.
Although the site has historically served a medical purpose, the new owners are actively exploring a range of ideas for how the various buildings and spaces might be repurposed.
These options are being considered to meet community needs and enhance the site's value to Rutherglen.
It is understood there are no plans to demolish any part of the complex. The integrity of the existing buildings will be preserved, maintaining the site as a key local landmark.
As planning progresses, further details about the proposed redevelopment and future use of the site will be shared with the community over the coming months.
