IRT Group CEO Patrick Reid said the organisation is exploring options for a staged redevelopment of the Murranar Road site, which was built early in IRT's 50-year history.
The site currently features 68 one and two-bedroom apartments.
"We are currently exploring options for the future of the site and are seeking stakeholder involvement in a collaborative design (co-design) process for the development of a new retirement village," Mr Reid said.
"We don't have a finalised design plan at this stage, and are committed to incorporating input from stakeholders on the design and layout of the future IRT Towradgi Park Retirement Village."
Mr Reid said the Illawarra-based seniors lifestyle and care providers are seeking community input on key design elements, which will then be applied in the development of a design plan.
"Some pre-determined fundamentals for the site will inform the co-design process; including the need to meet regulatory planning requirements (for example, a maximum building height of two levels, and meeting flood management specifications)," he said.
"We plan to conduct co-design workshops and talk with a range of stakeholders throughout May and June and will take the feedback from this process into consideration in drafting our designs.
"Following that, we will finalise our plans and share them with workshop participants and the broader community; working towards submitting a development application to Wollongong City Council in early 2020."
