Kalimna Hostel Site

In reply to the Hon. S.L. GAME ().14 June 2022).

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Attorney-General, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector): The Minister for Health and Wellbeing has been advised:

The Barossa Hills Fleurieu Local Health Network has approached the market on two separate occasions through formal expression of interest to source a proponent to reactivate the site (brownfield or refurbishment) as independent living accommodation for older community members.

In both instances the successful proponent withdrew their application after being awarded as successful; the most recent being May 2022.

The Barossa Hills Fleurieu Local Health Network is currently reviewing all viable options to support future state considerations.

The Strathalbyn and District Health Service has recently completed significant capital works and refurbishment, adding 36 beds to its residential aged-care facility.

Residential aged-care capacity for the Strathalbyn and District Health Service now totals 92 beds and is the largest residential aged-care facility operated by the Barossa Hills Fleurieu Local Health Network.

Commencing in August 2022, and in partnership with the Southern Adelaide Local Health Network, the Barossa Hills Fleurieu Local Health Network will be trialling a six-bed geriatric evaluation management inpatient project within the Strathalbyn and District Health Service.

The Barossa Hills Fleurieu Local Health Network provides community-based aged-care services to residents within Strathalbyn and surrounding communities.

The Barossa Hills Fleurieu Local Health Network advises that Kalimna was closed as the building classification did not meet the current required standards for residential aged-care.
