specialist disability accommodation.
Apartments for you and your family.
451 Beach offers a range of two and three-bedroom specialist disability accommodation (SDA) apartment layouts to accommodate singles, couples, families, friends sharing, or live-in supports who wish to lease.
Our remaining two bedroom apartments are designed with:
- one master bedroom and ensuite for one NDIS participant as the leaseholder
- a queen sized second bedroom
- a second main bathroom
- 20m2 + balconies or courtyard spaces
All apartments have a spacious feel through the living areas and bedrooms. This is further enhanced by the floor-to-ceiling windows onto our outdoor spaces that double as an additional 20m2 living space, with views into the treetops.
We have taken a high degree of care to provide accessible features over and above that prescribed by the SDA design standards. If you enjoy time in the kitchen you will appreciate free leg space below the kitchen sink and induction cooktop for preparing meals and cleaning up.
Aesthetics are important to us, and if they are to you too, we hope you will love the selections we've made to present a timeless, beautiful home for you and your guests.
Please see our FAQs below regarding funding and eligibility criteria to enter into a lease with Halcyon for these beautiful apartments.
The building.
Where other SDA apartments cater to your needs inside your apartments, 451 Beach has you covered from the moment you enter the property boundary.
Read below specific access inclusions to make life simple for you when you arrive home.
THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING.
Accessibility never an afterthought.
Ease of access was an embedded design principle before the architect put pen to paper. Some of the building features you will enjoy without even noticing they are there:
...Level surfaces from the street kerb to your balcony. You won't encounter kerbs or steps anywhere, or have to take the long route around.
...Large undercover vehicle and pedestrian lobby. Wait undercover and enter and exit your transport out of the elements taking the time you need.
...Accessible rooftop garden with bbq and sink with leg access under.
...Two lifts - a stretcher lift and a second sized and weighted for electric wheelchairs - never be inconvenienced by breakdowns or servicing.
...Auto door opener to the lobby for ease of access when returning home.
Your safety won't be compromised.
We've stepped up the safety design features to exceed standard apartment inclusions:
...CCTV to all common areas
...Fully fire sprinkler protected
...Fire-isolated stairs for emergency evacuation situations
...Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans will be prepared with you and sent to the local fire brigade - something often overlooked in larger apartment complexes.
...Secure parking and gates

Please reach out if you need a referral to an experienced support coordinator for Home and Living applications.

Just the same as you would in any other rental property. Internet, power, water. Our power is subsidised by the energy provider and is currently offered at 5% below Synergy retail prices.
A service agreement and a standard residential tenancy lease with bond and all the usual rental agreement conditions, with some additions to cater to the SDA payment arrangements and the quality and safeguard obligations we have to you.

You've offered me a place, I have some further questions before I move in
If you haven't already arranged for a functional assessment you will need to complete one with your OT so they can determine what additional technology you would benefit from in your new apartment and prepare a report. This would be followed up with a quote to establish a budget for the purchase of assistive technologies. Halcyon is able to provide you or your support coordinator with building drawings, specifications and advice regarding on-site provisions already in place.
You should expect to bring everything you would typically require to furnish a home. A dryer and dishwasher is provided, however, all other household appliances are not. If you need help or advice with furnishing your home, we are here to help.
If you do need help, reach out. We will make our handyman available to you to hang art, TVs or undertake any of the fiddly tasks that you need assistance with to make your new apartment home, like screwing together flat packs!
