Case study: project management for Wyn Carr House restoration
RPS is providing project management support for the restoration and expansion of historic Wyn Carr House in Fremantle, Western Australia.
Restored building to provide much-needed services for vulnerable women
Housing All Australians and Uniting WA are restoring and expanding Wyn Carr House to provide accommodation to some of Western Australia’s most vulnerable women.
More than 20 individuals and private companies, including RPS, have donated more than $1 million in goods and services to support the project. The restoration has also received financial support from the state government’s Department of Communities.
Built in 1923, the project honours the history of the property and Winifred (Wyn) Carr’s service to women in need. The restoration and expansion will provide medium-term accommodation for women aged 55 and over who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. The accommodation, along with support services, will create a safe and dignified space for women to access the support they need to secure long-term, stable housing.
