Our future

We anticipate that we will begin offering services in Belmont in 2025.

We know we will provide all our existing core services – therapy, community, skills development and training. As we progress the design of the new facility, we are exploring other options and opportunities. As the site is large enough to grow our services, we anticipate offering a number of health services and a café onsite for the broader Belmont community to access. 

We have been looking for a location in Perth that met a number of key criteria set within our Metropolitan Facilities Plan. Those being reasonably priced land, easy to access by road and public transport to the north, south and eastern suburbs, and with the space for us to grow our services. The site in Belmont meets all of those criteria and is located within an area of growth identified by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA).

We will continue services from 60 McCabe Street until the relocation to Belmont is complete. Services for residents at 62 McCabe Street are not part of the relocation and will continue for the long term.

When the time gets closer, we will work with you and your family to develop a transition plan. We aim to ensure all metropolitan customers travel no more than 20 minutes to access services. We have hubs located across Perth and will work with you to find the best options to support you goals and lifestyle.

We will retain a presence in the western suburbs, with our homes at 62 McCabe Street, and will continue to provide our customers in the area with the services and supports they need.

Rocky Bay has been at this site in Mosman Park for almost half of our 84-year history. We know there are special memories for many of you here, and we would like to capture these memories as part of our history.
If you have photos, stories or a memory you would like to share, please email [email protected]
With your permission, we will share some of these memories in our newsletters and on our website.

As with any situation, we will do our best to keep you with your same team of people. If for any reason there is a change, we will make this as streamlined as possible.

The move to Belmont is still a few years away, providing us with plenty of time to work with you to explore options and opportunities in the interim. 

Yes, we will be able to provide you with services and supports at your home or a location convenient to you in the western suburbs. If you would like to visit one of our hubs, we will work with you and your family to develop a transition plan to suit you.

To support Rocky Bay’s relocation to Belmont, Rocky Bay will sell our 2.8-hectare property at 60 McCabe Street Mosman Park. The funds received from the sale will go towards developing the new facility. 

Through a strategic review and consultation with our employees and customers, we identified that our site at Mosman Park is no longer suitable – with tired  buildings, many parts of the site not being accessible and the location not ideal for the vast majority of our customers and families.

The cost to redevelop was both prohibitive and beyond our reach as a not-for-profit. The State Government’s decision to remove the land use caveat at Mosman Park means that we can take a positive step into the future, to reshape our organisation to meet the changing needs of people accessing our services. 

There is a total of almost 2.8 hectares of land for sale at 60 McCabe Street.

We will update you with key milestones on our website here and in the Scoop newsletter. If there’s something specific we want to share with you, we will send you an email update. 

The funds generated from the sale of Mosman Park will go towards the construction of our new administrative and health and community centre in Belmont.

The homes at 62 McCabe Street and the adjacent car park are on a separate title and will not be impacted by this sale. The residents living in the nursing home have commenced the transition to their new SDA homes. They will all have moved before we
relocate to Belmont in 2025.

Yes, we have been in regular contact with the Town of Mosman Park regarding the removal of the land use caveat and our subsequent decision to sell.
