Welcome to The Post

Where everyday living feels genuinely yours.

The Post is a brand-new specialist disability accommodation development at 334 Peel Street, in the established western side of Bathurst. Two separate homes, each single storey, each with its own front door, garage and garden.

Both are built to High Physical Support — the highest SDA design category — with fire sprinklers throughout and properly landscaped gardens. Wide doorways and level floors are there because that's how the homes were drawn, not because rails were added afterwards.

It's built by Brookline, with housing managed by ADAPT Housing as the registered SDA provider, and support available locally through Minka Blue.

Finding a place that genuinely suits you shouldn't take years. We'd love to show you around this one.

High Physical Support SDA by ADAPT Housing
Two homes

Separate, not shared

Each dwelling is its own home with its own entrance, garage and outdoor space.

Single storey

No steps at all

Level from the garage, through the house, out to the patio.

Support

Someone overnight

A dedicated room for a support worker, with its own door.

Location

Right in town

Flat footpaths, shops nearby, hospital minutes away.

Built to a higher standard

Every detail, thoughtfully done.

Each of these began with a simple question: what would actually make an ordinary day easier, and nicer?

No. 01

Brand new build

Never lived in. Purpose-built from the ground up as specialist disability accommodation, not a house adapted after the fact.

No. 02

Come in from the car

The garage opens into the house on the level. No ramp to line up, no step to lift over, and you don't get wet in the rain.

No. 03

Overnight support room

An OOA room with its own bathroom and its own door. A support worker is close by at 3am, and out of your living room the rest of the time.

No. 04

A kitchen you can use

Open to the living area with room to turn around, so cooking happens with everyone else rather than away from them.

No. 05

Two living areas

One for company and one for quiet. You get to choose which kind of day you're having.

No. 06

Landscaped gardens

Properly landscaped front and back, with a covered patio off the living room. Somewhere to sit outside that's shaded in summer and dry when it rains.

“A small building, doing quiet and essential work for the people around it. That's what stood here in 1942. That's what we've built again.” Brookline

The homes

Two homes, one lovely site.

Dwelling 1 and Dwelling 2 are the same home, mirrored. Three bedrooms, each with its own ensuite, plus a separate room and bathroom for overnight support. Whichever one you choose, you get exactly the same rooms.

Artist impression of Dwelling 1 from the street. Single-storey brick house with a metal roof, timber front door, garage, picket fence and landscaped front garden.

Where the name comes from

This corner has been looking after people for eighty years.

In September 1942, Bathurst was full of families who had come to work at the munitions factory out along the Blayney Road. They needed somewhere to post letters home and collect their pay, so a small building went up in the corner of this very block.

It was the Bathurst West Post Office, and a woman named Joyce Ada Bourke ran it. She was the first postmistress the district ever had. She and her husband William were raising five sons in the house out the front at the time.

That little building served the street for more than thirty years. It was small, it was plain, and it mattered enormously to the people around it.

We liked that idea so much we kept the name.

“A small separate building was established in the western corner of the allotment for the Bathurst West Post Office in September of 1942. Ada Bourke became the first post mistress.” Statement of Heritage Impact, 334 Peel Street
1894

Daniel Cuneen builds a two-room cottage here, on what was then the edge of town.

1931

William and Lilian Bourke buy the house and raise their five boys in it.

1942

The post office opens in the corner of the block. Ada Bourke is postmistress.

Today

Two new homes, doing something useful for this street all over again.

What is SDA

Housing that's funded for you.

Specialist Disability Accommodation is housing funded through the NDIS for people with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs.

Your rent is covered through your NDIS plan.

SDA funding is paid to the provider through your plan, which means eligible participants can live in purpose-built accessible housing without carrying standard rental costs. You get to focus on living well rather than on bills.

How the funding works

SDA pays for the building itself — the bricks and mortar. It's separate from the funding that pays for your day-to-day supports, which you arrange through your own support provider.

Am I eligible?

SDA is for NDIS participants with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs. Your support coordinator, planner or occupational therapist can help you check whether it's in your plan.

How do I apply?

Get in touch with us and we'll connect you with the right people — ADAPT Housing for the property and tenancy, and a support provider of your choosing for daily care. We're happy to help either way.

Your team

The people you'll actually be dealing with.

Choosing a home means choosing who looks after it, and who looks after you. Here's exactly who does what.

Brookline

Developer and owner

We buy the land, design the homes and keep owning them afterwards. That last part matters — we're not building these to sell on, so every decision we make now is one we live with, and so do you.

The Post is part of a growing portfolio of SDA properties, alongside Gables on Gladstone in Mudgee and Hillvue House in Tamworth.

ADAPT Housing

Registered SDA provider

ADAPT are the registered SDA provider for The Post. They handle enrolling the homes with the NDIA and the SDA side of your tenancy, and they build across all four SDA design categories, so they know what a home has to do long before anyone signs anything.

They also work with specialists who prepare housing solution reports, which helps a lot if you're still working out what you're eligible for.

Minka Blue

Local support partner

Minka Blue are a registered NDIS provider based right here in Bathurst, on Keppel Street. Supported independent living, in-home care, nursing, community access and support coordination, across Bathurst, Cowra, Orange and the Central West.

Being local is the whole point. They already know the GPs, the allied health providers and how to get around this town, because they work here every day.

Visit Minka Blue →

Minka Blue are here if you want them. Never if you don't.

Your home and your daily supports are two separate things, funded separately and chosen separately. Living at The Post doesn't tie you to any support provider. If you already have people you trust, bring them with you — that's how it should be.

Questions

Everything people usually ask.

If your question isn't here, just ask us. Nothing is too small or too obvious.

Are these homes for sale, or to rent?

To rent. We're not selling them. Brookline owns the property and intends to keep owning it, because we'd rather be accountable to the people living here than to a buyer. Registering your interest puts you on the list for availability and how to apply.

What will it cost me?

If you have SDA funding in your NDIS plan, that funding covers the housing itself. Participants also make a reasonable rent contribution, which is set by the NDIS rather than by us. We'll walk you through exactly what that means for your situation, with no surprises.

What is SDA, and how do I know if I'm eligible?

Specialist Disability Accommodation is NDIS funding for the building itself, for people with very high support needs or extreme functional impairment. It's separate from the funding that pays for your day-to-day supports.

Whether you have it is decided through your NDIS plan. A support coordinator or occupational therapist can check for you, and ADAPT Housing can help arrange a housing solution report. Ask us and we'll point you in the right direction, whether or not you end up living here.

What does High Physical Support mean?

HPS is the highest of the four SDA design categories. It's for people with very high support needs, and the building has to meet a tougher standard: structural provision for ceiling hoists, reinforced walls, wider circulation space that works with a powered wheelchair, and bathrooms designed for fully assisted use.

In practice it means the home is ready for the support you need now and the support you might need later, without anyone opening up a wall down the track. Your NDIS plan needs to include HPS SDA funding for you to live here — your support coordinator or OT can confirm that.

What does the support worker's room actually mean?

It's an OOA room — overnight onsite assistance. A proper bedroom for a support worker who stays the night, with its own door, set apart from your bedroom. Someone is there if you need help at 3am. They're not sleeping on your couch or sharing your bathroom.

Do I have to use Minka Blue for my supports?

Not at all. Your home and your supports are funded separately and chosen separately. Minka Blue know Bathurst inside out and they're there if you want them, which plenty of people will. But if you already have a provider you trust, nothing about living here changes that.

Can my family visit? Can I bring my own furniture?

Yes and yes. It's your home and your lease. Each home has its own front door, its own living rooms and its own garden. Visitors don't need anyone's permission, and you should absolutely make the place look like yours.

Can I come and see it?

Please do. Get in touch and we'll arrange a time to walk you through the plans and the site, and answer whatever you want to ask. Bring your family, your support coordinator, your OT — whoever helps you make decisions like this.

When will they be ready?

We're working through council approval at the moment. We won't give you a completion date we can't stand behind, so register your interest and we'll tell you the moment we know something firm.

Get in touch

We'd love to hear from you.
