I'm going to take the opportunity to talk through the approach
that is being undertaken to the planning of the Repat.
Take stock of the work that's been undertaken today, the next steps forward,
and then provide an overview of the concepts
that have been developed at this point, which are very much a discussion starter.
The first stage is what we've just completed, and we're now moving into stage 2,
which is that yellow box.
We're now launching the community consultation process tonight.
We've had some discussions with staff groups today.
We've got a one month exercise,
as well as, in parallel, undertaking an expression of interest exercise,
with the non-Government and private sector to
further extract ideas on how the site could develop.
I'm going to move forward now on
the concepts that we are proposing at this point.
I'll highlight a few things here.
Now these are common on all of the following three slides, so you don't need to sort of
trace your eye over it each time,
but the key thing to notice at the start is the blue,
which are a range of heritage listed assets.
The other thing to note are the yellows,
so there's the Vita building, which is SA Health's half of a joint development with the ACH Group.
In addition there is the Orthotics Prosthetics SA service,
hydrotherapy pool, it's been reopened on May the 28th.
Repat radiology, and then we have two Flinders University buildings,
which are on long term leases
and are continuing to operate on that basis.
Probably the next thing I would highlight at this point
are these big green areas.
So the first one is the old Ward 18.
The building to the north is the Rehab and Therapy services building,
and then the other area which the government has been quite clear about is
activating the operating theatre suite.
I'll just move through now the three concepts, as we go.
Common theme to the west of the site is activating Ward 18,
and associated spaces for the varying levels of dementia care
whether it be the most extreme, down to severe,
and those with enduring mental health and filling a service need in that area.
So the first of these differs from the second two in that,
it's got a deliberate focus around
brain and spinal rehabilitation.
The consideration is really and the suggestion here is to create an Outpatient, an Ambulatory service hub.
So day services focused on paediatrics,
and it might include child protection services,
so a range of services, which largely not being provided at a Flinders Medical Centre or
some others in other facilities in the inner South.
I'm going to move across now into the theatre suite.
This concept talks about day procedures,
so that might be something in the order of scopes work,
or it might be opthalmic work.
You'll see right in the heart of the site,
whenever anyone has tried looking at how the best master plan Repat,
they always come to 'you gotta open up the heart of it a little bit',
and and create something which has perhaps a bit of a
retail cafe-type precinct,
and just create a bit of a social heart to the site and maybe a bit of a green space.
So I'll move forward now onto
the second of the options.
The second of these options differs primarily in that
it does not have the same rehabilitation focus.
But to the north, instead of doing rehab,
it has a stronger focus of activating those wards for the care transition elements.
In this scenario, it proposes veterans homeless accommodation at the front,
and statewide eating disorders could occur in Daw House hospice.
And then in this scenario, statewide eating disorders is on a
what would be a created new site by demolishing some old facilities.
And in this scenario, it proposes that that
post-care arrangement would occur in the most recent of the ward environments.
So this has a stronger emphasis on activating the surgical element with an overnight inpatient capacity.
They are three concepts.
They're very conceptual, just to stimulate thought,
and we're looking forward to people having their say
and contributing over this next month around where people think
some of the highest areas of value are,
and in fact whether there are other suggestions on how we can do things in another way.
Thank you.
