History of Coroneagh Park1997

Nestled in the heart of the quiet seaside town of Penguin, on the northwest coast of Tasmania, Coroneagh Park’s seaside placement is rich with open spaces, relaxing beaches, and the peace and tranquility that come with living in such a serene and relaxing environment.  

Recent, large-scale renovations across recent years have provided the facility with an open plan design with large corridors and glass that opens up to a small courtyard. All areas have been modernised with a homely feel, from quiet areas to common areas allowing staff, residents and their loved ones to congregate.

  • Officially opened on 8th February 1997, Coroneagh Park was a joint project between Eliza Purton Home and the Commonwealth Government.
  • The facility was substantially redeveloped in 2017 thanks to a $9 million project, increasing the number of beds from 45 to 78 and including the addition of a dedicated 15-bed secure dementia ward, cinema, library, cafe, gardens and community centre space.
  • With its state-of-the-art redevelopment and thoughtful design, Coroneagh Park sets the benchmark for facilities in the area. Dedicated to providing exceptional care for the elderly, the team at Coroneagh Park now consists of registered nurses available on call 24 hours a day and social care teams focused on curating a wide range of events and activities to inspire participation, promote wellbeing, as well as connection with the local community.
