3 McCulloch St, Melton South VIC 3338

A Home Designed to Last

Robust SDA | 2 Participants | Onsite Overnight Assistance | Final-As-Built Certified

3 McCulloch Street, Melton South is a brand-new, purpose-built Robust SDA home, ready for participants who need a home that is built tough, designed with care, and made for real everyday life.

Located in the established community of Melton South, this single-storey home was built from the ground up for the Robust design category under the NDIS SDA Design Standard. It is not a retrofitted property or a converted house. Every room, fitting, and material has been selected with durability, safety, privacy, and participant dignity in mind.

Two private bedrooms. Two private ensuites. A dedicated Onsite Overnight Assistance room. A genuine breakout room. A kitchen designed for usable independence. This is what Robust SDA looks like when it is built properly.

The Heart of the Home

Open, Connected and Made for Living

The open-plan kitchen, living, and meals area is the centre of the home. It is generous, well lit, and designed to feel welcoming rather than institutional. The layout connects naturally to both participant bedrooms, flows through to the covered alfresco area, and gives everyone in the household room to move comfortably.

Throughout the main living space, the design focuses on practical ease of use. Dimmable lighting, accessible switches, and power points at reachable heights help make the home more usable day to day. The layout also provides the flexibility needed to suit different furniture arrangements, routines, and support requirements.

Participant Bedrooms

Private, Spacious and Sound Insulated

Both participant bedrooms are designed to support privacy, comfort, and day-to-day functionality. Each room is large enough to accommodate a queen bed while still allowing clear circulation space for participants, support workers, and equipment where needed.

Each bedroom includes:

• A private ensuite
• Built-in robe
• Reverse-cycle air-conditioning
• Dimmable lighting
• Recessed light fittings
• Power points positioned for practical daily use

Importantly, both bedrooms are described as being sound insulated in line with the Robust design intent, helping create stronger acoustic privacy and a calmer environment.

The roof structure to each bedroom has also been prepared for a future ceiling hoist installation, should participant needs require that later on.

Ensuites

One Each. Fully Accessible. Completely Private.

Each participant has their own private ensuite. There is no shared bathroom in this home.

Each ensuite includes:

• Step-free, hobless shower
• Slip-resistant flooring
• Clear transfer space at the toilet
• Basin with under-clearance for seated use
• Wall reinforcement for future grabrail installation

This gives each participant a bathroom that is not only more accessible now, but also easier to adapt over time if support needs change.

Kitchen

Independence Starts Here

The kitchen has been designed for participants who want to be part of their own household, not just present in it. It provides clear circulation space in front of benches and appliances, helping support easier movement and more practical use.

Key features include:

• Electric height-adjustable bench
• Pull-out lockable pantry
• Retractable ducted rangehood
• Dishwasher
• Task lighting above work areas
• Accessible hardware and storage design

This is not a token accessible kitchen. It is a space designed so someone can genuinely prepare food, participate in daily routines, and use the room with greater independence.

Breakout Room

A Dedicated Space for Wellbeing

This home includes a separate breakout room, giving participants an additional space away from the shared parts of the home when needed.

That matters in a Robust dwelling. Under SDA pricing settings, a breakout room is a feature only available in the Robust design category, and it must be a separate room, not simply part of another living space.

Whether used for calming activities, regulation, quiet time, or individual routines, it adds another layer of flexibility that can make the home work better for both participants and support teams.

Onsite Overnight Assistance Room

Support That Stays in Its Lane

The dedicated Onsite Overnight Assistance room is positioned separately from the participant bedrooms, giving support staff their own functional base without requiring them to move through participant spaces unnecessarily.

Good OOA design matters. It helps maintain privacy, boundaries, and a stronger sense that this is the participant’s home first.

Outdoor Area

Covered, Step-Free and Usable Year-Round

The covered alfresco area is accessible directly from the internal living space with step-free access at the threshold. It is a genuinely usable outdoor zone, not just an afterthought.

With external sensor lighting and practical shelter, the space can be used across different times of day and in different weather conditions, supporting fresh air, downtime, and daily routine.

Garage and Arrival

Safe, Secure and Weather Protected

The single lock-up garage includes an automated sectional panel lift door and connects directly to the home via a step-free internal path. That helps make daily arrival and departure easier, particularly when mobility aids, equipment, or support needs are involved.

The front entry also includes a covered porch and a step-free, slip-resistant approach, helping the home feel easy, practical, and dignified from the moment someone arrives.

What Makes This Home Robust

Built for Durability, Safety and Long-Term Use

Robust is a specific SDA design category intended for participants who need a home that can withstand heavier use while still feeling like a real home, not a clinical setting.

In this home, the Robust approach is reflected through features such as:

• Durable wall linings and resilient finishes
• High-impact, vandal-resistant fixtures and fittings
• Solid internal doors
• Slip-resistant flooring
• Accessible switch and power point heights
• Dimmable lighting to bedrooms and living areas
• Hardwired, interconnected smoke alarms
• External sensor lighting
• Security and intercom infrastructure
• Reverse-cycle air-conditioning to key living zones
• Pre-wiring for stable connectivity
• A documented egress and retreat approach for staff and residents

Altogether, these features support a home that is better equipped for high use, day-to-day stability, and long-term liveability.

Why SIL Providers Choose This Home
