Sunshine Coast builder delivers future-ready housing for seniors

Sunshine Coast-based Oly Homes has delivered two purpose-built modular homes designed for seniors to the Thallon community in South West Queensland.

The homes, part of the Queensland Government’s Quickstarts Queensland initiative, provide a vital housing solution for ageing residents wishing to stay connected to their local community.

This latest project follows Oly Homes’ successful delivery of nine modular homes and accessible units to Thursday Island late last year.

General manager Steven Nousala said the Yandina-based company’s innovative modular approach offers a faster, more adaptable solution to meet the unique housing needs of regional and remote communities.

“We built these two Gold LHA homes with a specific focus on catering to the needs of seniors living in Thallon, including those who have challenges with mobility,” he said.

“Both homes were built in our Yandina factory over a three-month time period which is a lot quicker than traditional building methods which can be impacted by weather, supplies and access to tradies.

“Once the homes were completed off site we transported them to Thallon where ancillary services such as connections, driveways and fences were completed for the first residents to move in.”
