Peacock Centre Redevelopment
The redevelopment of the Peacock Centre was undertaken following an initial fire in December 2016 when various mental health service providers were left without a place from which to operate. The project included the recreation of the adult mental health care facility with best practice design for mental health care and the heritage restoration of the original Ruardean Residence. The redevelopment included managing the recovery from a second catastrophic fire and overseeing multiple insurance claims.
On completion, the project would support the THS Statewide Mental Health Services by introducing one of many Mental Health Integration Hubs across the state that offers a new way to deliver mental health services to the Tasmanian community.
Works included the addition of 12 short stay mental health beds, the creation of communal visitor spaces, treatment/counselling spaces, staff amenities and facilities including a café with kitchen and multipurpose spaces for both staff and users in line with the Burra Charter, Heritage Tasmania Guidelines and the project’s Historic Heritage Management Strategy.
