NDIS Specialist Disability Accommodation (Anthea Greig)
1,000m², Kent Town, Payneham Norwood St Peters Council, South Australia
NDIS looks simple on paper. Reality is different.
Anthea and Rohan delivered a fully accessible SDA apartment inclusive of a carer’s apartment within a 1976 built - 4 storey building they already owned. No land cost. No greenfield. Just smart adaptive addition.
The challenges? Neighbour objections, long timelines, tricky engineering, and hard-to-pin costs.
Their solution: bring in a commercial builder and an SDA provider early. Compliance, constructability, and enrolment were locked in from day one. The result: a high-quality SDA asset, fully leased to a NDIS participant, with 17% gross and 13% net yield.
Anthea & Rohan will share:
· How they navigated objections and council for SDA approval within an existing building
· What to lock in early with SDA providers to de-risk certification and tenancy
· How to budget for “unknowns” in adaptive reuse without blowing your numbers
· The ownership, strata, and leasing considerations when you already own the apartment building
If you’re considering NDIS or adding value within an existing footprint, this session shows how to turn constraints into cash flow.
