Lakelands Lifestyle Village is owned and managed by the Glenister family who have been at the forefront of lifestyle village development since its inception.
The Glenister family understands that listening to the people who live within the village is paramount and has an “open door” policy where you can talk to the friendly and helpful staff. They also pioneered a Residents Liaison Committee elected by those living within Lakelands and this has become an integral part of the community.
A forty year lease ensures your security of tenure and at the end of this period you may enter another lease. Increases in rent are governed by your lease agreement and are calculated by CPI +2%. Your home is owned by you and may be sold at any time.
A modest fortnightly fee is charged by Lakelands which covers rates and taxes, water rates, rubbish collection, village maintenance and administration and allows you free access to all the Lakelands facilities.
The basic fee is $415.50 per fortnight and the rent rises every July. Most of our villagers receive a Government Rental Subsidy but you would need to talk to Centrelink to establish your entitlement to this subsidy.
Lakekands village is the best over 55 Village that I found, I looked at all the parks, and most of them were combined with holiday accommodation, Lakelands Village is quiet as only residents live here, and there are shops close by. There is also easy access to the beach, and it is like living in the country. I couldn’t find anything better. Definitely worth a look.
We have lived at Lakelands Village about 4 ½ years. It took us a while to settle after giving up our home, but love it now. People are so friendly and helpful. Also we live in a nice quiet street with lovely neighbours.
The members of this community have been very inclusive and helpful when needed in matters of urgency related to health, transport and fundraising for needy institutions.
A beautiful community living, lifestyle village for over 55s. Lush gardens were well maintained, everything neat and tidy.
