The Blackbutt and Benarkin Aged Care Association will officially take over the lease on the Scott Haven Aged Units in Hart Street, Blackbutt, on December 3.

A handover / signing ceremony will take place at 2:00pm with Mayor Cr Wayne Kratzmann, councillors and representatives of the aged care association.

The association owns other land in Blackbutt where it ultimately hopes to construct an aged care facility but in the meantime, it felt it could assist the aged community by taking over the management of the facility.

“Our plan is to brighten up the current units by doing some painting, gardening and replacing some of the old curtains,” Aged Care Association secretary Ross Heaney said in July when the project was first discussed.
