Marriott House Relocation

Posted by Peter O'Brien

Marriott House Relocation to meet clients needs

As part of the needs to update the facilities at Marriott House, it was decided by the Marriot Board, that extension modifications to apply with OH&S requirements would not be able to be carried out on the current facility at Wheatley Road, and as such it was decided to relocate to various locations away for the existing location.

The new facilities will be at Hampton East and Hughesdale to meet with the clients needs and expand to locations more in keeping with the NDIS program.

The Rotary Club of Bentleigh Moorabbin Central received an invitation to the Marriott Community new service site OPEN DAY at 898 Nepean Highway, Hampton East, on Friday 27 October 2023, from 10:00am to 2:00pm.

This was attended by club members at the new facility to have an overview of the building as Kellie Carruthers and other members of staff showed club members around as Marriot Community continues to supports those in our community with disabilities to achieve their goals and live an independent life. Hampton East will provide us with a modern location that is close to all amenities to support the capacity building of our NDIS participants .

Note from the Editor re Images and Events

A point regarding the submission of images for the Bulletin and Website: Members are reminded that images have to meet a minimum size requirement, as has been specified for some time in the section at the bottom of this Bulletin. 820 pixels is the minimum size required with larger being better as this allows for cropping. The submission of images via MMS is NOT preferred as they are too small and of inferior quality. Email or Whatsapp is preferred.
Would any member like to take responsibility for the updating of the Club's Event Calendar? I have created a page of instructions here so it is very easy to take over.
Thank you, Ian Ballantine
