This project involved the staged refurbishment of the existing YPARC facility in Frankston to improve comfort, safety and therapeutic outcomes for young people accessing mental health support. Works were carefully planned and delivered in stages to minimise disruption to residents and staff. Upgrades included improvements to bedrooms and shared spaces, the creation of a new family room, and the addition of a sensory garden to enhance outdoor engagement and recovery.
