Manly Health and Wellbeing Precinct
Aveo is committed to delivering a best-in-class, intergenerational health and wellbeing precinct for the Manly community.
Aveo is honoured to be the NSW Government’s preferred project delivery partner for the Manly Health and Wellbeing Precinct. We are committed to working collaboratively with the community, local stakeholders and the Northern Beaches Council to provide a best-in-class, intergenerational health and wellbeing precinct for Manly, celebrating the iconic site’s rich history and fostering community connection.
Who is Aveo?
For 40 years, Aveo has been leading the way in the design, development and management of retirement living options for older Australians. We create communities that are connected within their local community and that bring people together. Aveo has 67 retirement living communities across Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania, and is home to more than 10,000 residents.
In recent years, Aveo has redefined what exceptional customer service is in retirement living with a mission to create vibrant, supportive communities where residents feel valued, respected and truly at home. In 2024, Aveo achieved an exceptional Net Promoter Score of 57.41 and was awarded the CSIA Customer Service Organisation of the Year award.
The Aveo team is excited to bring our focus on service excellence to the Manly Health and Wellbeing Precinct project.
Grounded in community
Through the redevelopment of the former Manly Hospital Site and the adaptive re-use of heritage buildings, envisaged uses for the precinct are seniors housing, including independent retirement living, affordable housing and a residential aged care facility, subject to planning approval.
The precinct will also provide open space, a health and wellbeing centre, and activated community and retail spaces, which may include a childcare centre, aligning with the community’s vision for the site.
Aveo has a strong history in the redevelopment, construction and restoration of communities. Click below for information about some of our recent projects:

Update: Manly Health and Wellbeing Precinct
In April 2025, the NSW Government and Aveo began consultation with key stakeholders and neighbours. Consultation focused on an introduction to Aveo, initial concept plans, and its alignment with the community's vision and guiding principles for the site. This was the first step in consultation, and broader community consultation will take place as part of the state–significant development application (SSDA) process.
In May 2025, Aveo commenced Due Diligence on the site. This has included investigations into flora, fauna, contamination, geology and hydrology. The majority of investigations are now complete, with only limited activities remaining over the next few months.
As part of this process, various technical consultants and experts have completed desktop and site-based studies, which have informed the project's development and are now being integrated into the concept design and broader planning work.
Concurrently, Aveo has also commenced preparing our responses to the Secretary’s Environmental Assessment Requirements (SEARs) issued by the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI) earlier this year.
These studies address matters relating to built form and urban design, visual impact, transport, social impact, biodiversity and environmental heritage.

Next steps
Aveo is currently refining the proposed master plan for the precinct in preparation for the concept SSDA process. At this stage, it is anticipated that the SSDA will be lodged before mid-2026.
The SSDA will be subject to community consultation once it is on public exhibition, as part of the planning assessment process.
The community's input for the site has already played a vital role in shaping the proposed health and wellbeing related uses planned for the precinct.
The NSW Government and Aveo will continue to collaborate with the community and Northern Beaches Council throughout the planning process to create a legacy precinct that will benefit current and future generations.
