AUSTRALIA — Coplex, a prominent construction company in Sydney, is set to unveil its latest project, Kala Jordan Springs, a $65 million inclusive living development located in Western Sydney.

Situated beside a picturesque lake and adjacent to the expansive Wianamatta Regional National Park, Kala Jordan Springs offers a serene living environment.

This development consists of 84 spacious one, two, and three-bedroom apartments spread across four levels and two buildings, complemented by two basement levels for parking.

A key highlight of Kala Jordan Springs is its dedication to inclusivity within the local community.

Notably, 25 per cent of the apartments are designed according to the Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) standards, addressing a significant shortage of such housing in Sydney.

Current data from the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) indicates that over 36 per cent of eligible participants in New South Wales are still awaiting suitable SDA options, highlighting the urgent need for this type of accommodation.

To tackle this shortfall in Western Sydney, Coplex has integrated a diverse range of SDA housing into the second stage of the award-winning Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) Master Planned community developed by Lendlease.

The company has partnered with Nationwide Care Plus to manage the SDA component of the development, ensuring that the housing needs of approved participants are effectively met.

Rami Ibrahim, Director of Coplex, expressed pride in contributing to the community’s wellbeing, stating: “At Coplex, we believe in helping all within the community to live well.

“We are incredibly proud to play our part in transforming the quality of life for 19 households and families by delivering NDIS accommodation designed for improved liveability and high physical support.”

He further highlighted the rarity of developers incorporating specialist accommodation into their projects due to high refurbishment costs that can limit availability.

The development features 10 High Physical Support apartments equipped with essential amenities such as durable hybrid flooring, built-in structures for ceiling hoists, and automated systems for windows and doors.

Additionally, these units include lift-up benches and drawer pantries in kitchens alongside other supportive features aimed at enhancing accessibility for residents with significant physical impairments.

Moreover, nine Improved Liveability apartments are tailored for individuals with sensory or cognitive impairments.

These units incorporate design elements like contrasting door colours to assist those with visual impairments and include various automated features for ease of use.

Kala Jordan Springs is part of the broader Jordan Springs community — an ambitious project by Lendlease that will eventually accommodate around 13,000 residents.

This vibrant neighbourhood boasts numerous amenities such as parks and open spaces centred around a three-hectare lake while promoting sustainability through native Australian landscaping.

Its strategic location also offers easy access to Penrith City Centre, public transport options like Penrith train station, and major roadways including the M4 Motorway.

Coplex continues its commitment to addressing housing shortages in Western Sydney through projects like Geneva Jordan Springs and an upcoming mixed-use Town Centre development at Jordan Springs.

The company has additional projects planned that aim to further alleviate the demand for SDA housing across Greater Sydney.

The official ribbon-cutting ceremony for Kala Jordan Springs will take place on November 12 from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM (AEDT) at 76 Lakeside Parade, Jordan Springs NSW 2747.
