The expected completion date for the village is planned for December 2022. It will be constructed over four major stages. 

*Please note all above staging is subject to weather conditions throughout the construction stages.

Secure your new home with a $1,000 fully refundable holding deposit while you ready your family home for sale. 

A $1,000 deposit is required to secure your home. The Sales Consultant or the Village Manager will discuss with you, the details of the deposit, how it is appropriately held and how it is refunded. 

Yes. All homes are purchased by way of a lifetime lease. The Title Deed and Lease are registered in our name with the relevant state government department. 

The tenure available at Cooranbong Gardens is leasehold tenure. The Village is run under the Department of Fair Trading rules for Loan Licence Agreements. A lease terminates automatically on the death of the surviving resident or when the unit is on-sold to a new resident.

Also known as a departure or exit fee, the deferred management fee can be a little confusing to understand, however, the benefit is twofold. 

Firstly it provides flexibility on the pricing of the in-going contribution, by allowing the prospective resident to pay a reduced amount up front with the remainder being withheld by the operator when you leave. 

Secondly, being the primary source of return on the operations investment, ensures funding for ongoing capital costs of redevelopment and renewal within the village.  

No, Stamp Duty is not applicable under the Retirement Villages Act. 

Residents are protected by a 90 day settling in period under NSW legislation. If you change your mind after occupation, you can give notice in writing within the 90 day period to terminate your contract without penalty, and receive a refund of your in-going contribution in full (less fair market rent for the time you were in occupation).

As a resident, you will be required to pay a “recurrent charge” or “maintenance fee”, which covers the running costs of the village e.g. day-to-day village management and administration, general village maintenance, council rates, insurance, security costs and gardening. These charges may increase annually by a prescribed rate as outlined in your contract.

Expenses you may incur include telephone, internet, electricity and contents insurance. 

The legislation recognises that this may happen and allows a period of 90 days, called the Settling-In Period, for you to change your mind. You do need to be aware that some charges may apply. While this does not happen often, the village will understand that circumstances do change and endeavour to work with you to fully explore other options. This way you have the chance to make an informed decision in the first place.

You can make alterations to the interior or exterior of your home, within reason. Obviously there are policies in place to protect the safety and comfort of all residents and to safeguard the aesthetic qualities and integrity of the retirement village. These must be complied with. Alterations involving electricity, gas, plumbing or building structure and external appearance must be approved by management before any work is carried out and all work must be carried out by qualified, registered tradespeople. You can, of course, redecorate the interior of your home more or less as you choose although the village manager must be kept informed.

The Gardens Pavilion will provide you with all the facilities you nee to bring variety to each day and connect with other residents.

Within the village, the Community Centre includes a library, meeting an activities room, and visitor consultation room. There is also a swimming pool and heated spa accessible with disability access, and a barbecue area to catch up over a meal.

When your family and friends visit, these facilities are a fantastic place to entertain.

We recognise that pets can be an important part of your life so we welcome pets under certain provisions to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for all residents.

Generally you are more than welcome to have family and friends stay over. However depending on the length of their stay, you may be required to obtain written approval from the Village Manager. This is to ensure the safety and security of all residents. You should ask the Sales Consultant or Village Manager for the rules relating to the village of your choice.

Minor internal alterations can be made with the consent of management, however, when the lease is re-assigned, the right is reserved to restore the property to original condition at the resident’s expense.
