Management of Merrittville Retirement Village

The Shire of Merredin (the Shire) is seeking quotes from suitably qualified and experienced applicants to manage the Merrittville Retirement Village (Merrittville) on behalf of the Shire.

The Shire owns Merrittville (located at 63 Bates Street, Merredin) which provides aged persons accommodation within the townsite of Merredin. This is currently managed by the Merrittville Retirement Village Inc Committee by way of a lease. Merrittville are seeking to terminate the current lease in late 2025, with the facility operation and management returning to the Shire. 

Merrittville comprises:

• 10 x 1 bedroom units built September 1981 (Units 1 – 10) (Unit 4 and part of Unit 5 have been amalgamated. The other part of Unit 5 is used for kitchen, laundry and toilet for the Village Hall)

• 5 x 1 bedroom units built January 1993 (Units 11 – 15)

• 5 x 2 bedroom units built June 1995 (Units 16 – 20)

• 6 x 2 bedroom units built February 2001 (Units 21 – 26)

• 3 x 3 bedroom dwellings built 2013 (detached houses) (Units 27; 29; and 31)

Units 1 – 10 are the oldest and will require renovation works in the coming years. All other units are in relatively good condition. Annual inspections are undertaken, with maintenance carried out as required. When a unit becomes vacant, the Merrittville Committee have undertaken upgrades and maintenance, depending on budget.

It should be noted that the Shire reserves the right to segregate the 3 x 3 bedroom dwellings (detached houses) from the village at any time in the future.
