16 Rochford Way, Melton South VIC 3338
A Home Designed for Safety, Stability and Everyday Independence
16 Rochford Way, Melton South is a purpose built Robust SDA home designed for participants who need a safe, durable and highly supportive living environment while still feeling like a normal home.
The design provides two participant bedrooms, dedicated living spaces, a safe and practical kitchen, private outdoor areas, and a layout that supports both independence and reliable support delivery.
This is a single storey home with step free access, resilient materials, reinforced wet areas and a layout that has been carefully designed to support safety, privacy and everyday living.
The Heart of the Home
Open, Simple and Easy to Live In
The central living area connects directly to the kitchen, bedrooms and outdoor space, creating a layout that is easy to understand and easy to move through. The design avoids unnecessary corridors and keeps everyday spaces connected while still allowing participants to have their own private areas.
The architectural drawings confirm a generous internal living area within a single level layout, meaning participants can move through the home without stairs or level changes.
Durable finishes have been specified throughout the home in line with the Robust design category, including resilient wall linings, reinforced sanitary areas and materials designed to withstand heavy everyday use while still maintaining a calm residential feel.
The living area also connects directly to the outdoor alfresco space, giving participants a simple and safe way to access fresh air and private outdoor space without leaving the home environment.
Participant Bedrooms
Private, Safe and Built for Comfort
The home includes two dedicated participant bedrooms, each designed as a private and secure personal space rather than simply a standard bedroom.
The Robust design requirements included in the drawings confirm that participant bedrooms are sound insulated and built using resilient materials to reduce noise, improve comfort and support long term durability.
Each participant is provided with their own bedroom, as confirmed in the SDA assessment summary for the property.
The layout keeps bedrooms separate from the main living area, helping create privacy and calm when needed, while still allowing support workers to move through the home safely and efficiently.
Bathrooms and Amenities
Reinforced, Safe and Easy to Use
The bathrooms have been designed in accordance with the SDA design requirements and include reinforced wall linings from floor level to full height, allowing grabrails or additional supports to be installed where needed.
The drawings confirm reinforced sanitary walls, slip resistant flooring and a step free shower layout designed to reduce the risk of falls and support safe daily routines.
These features are particularly important for participants who need a safer environment but still want a home that feels comfortable and familiar rather than clinical.
Kitchen and Living Spaces
Designed for Independence and Everyday Use
The kitchen has been designed to support everyday independence while remaining safe and durable. The architectural plans confirm a fixed cooktop, oven, sink, dishwasher provision and accessible storage designed to comply with SDA requirements for the Robust design category.
The layout provides clear circulation space in front of work areas and durable cabinetry and fittings that are designed to handle everyday use over the long term.
This allows participants to prepare meals independently when possible, while also giving support workers enough space to assist when required.
On-Site Overnight Assistance and Support Friendly Layout
The SDA assessment summary confirms the provision for an On-Site Overnight Assistance arrangement for the property.
The internal layout has been designed to make support delivery practical without affecting the privacy of participants. Bedrooms, living areas and bathrooms are positioned in a way that allows support workers to assist when needed while still allowing participants to live as independently as possible.
This type of layout is particularly helpful for SIL providers, as it supports efficient overnight support, safer movement through the home, and easier day to day support delivery.
Outdoor Area
Private, Safe and Easy to Access
The home includes a private outdoor area and covered alfresco space connected directly to the main living area. The site plan confirms private open space and landscaped areas designed as part of the overall layout.
Step free access paths are included from the site boundary to the front entry and throughout the outdoor areas, supporting safe movement between indoor and outdoor spaces.
This gives participants the opportunity to enjoy fresh air, outdoor time and quiet space while remaining within a safe and controlled environment.
