The owners of the land develop the estate and all the facilities, like the swimming pool, community hall, gymnasium, paved streets, lighting, gardens, secure parking compound, convenience shop etc. You buy your own home; an existing pre-loved home, as our Village doesn’t have any more sites available for a new home. You move in and enjoy the quiet life style of our community.

The rental or lease payment on your site is determined on the 1st. of February every year. This year 2009 the rent is only $127.28 per week (Inc GST), payable monthly on the 1st. of the month in advance. Any increase in rental is limited to 5% per annum. We try to limit any increase to the same percentage increase as the pension to keep in pace with your cost of living index. Therefore you know how much to budget for. Monthly rental $522.77 plus GST @ 5.5% of $28.75 = $551.52 Fortnightly rental including GST $254.55 For your rental payments we prefer you to use direct debit by your Bank or Center link.

Yes there are, depending on which pension you are on. A large portion of your rent, plus future increases, qualify for substantial rebates and rent assistance from the Government. Because of the G.S.T. this rebate has been increased accordingly.

This Estate is zoned "Manufactured Homes" by the Hervey Bay City Council and can not be altered. When you take possession of your pre-loved home the Estate provides a Lease Agreement governed by the "Manufactured Homes Act 2003". This is for your protection and sets out the Estates responsibilities etc.

The new owners are bound by your existing lease over your site, within the terms of that lease nothing changes. The term of the lease is "in perpetuity" in other words, for ever so your tenure is secure.

The land the Village is on is zoned "Manufactured Homes" by the Hervey Bay Council and can not be used for anything else so in the unlikely event of Management going broke the receiver has to sell to a purchaser that will continue as a Village. The present owners have owned the village since 1995, 12 years, so chances are pretty good that nothing drastic is going to happen.

Firstly your allotment plus the use of all the facilities in the estate, i.e. The pool, spa, sauna, gymnasium, community hall, library, Bar-b-Queue. Weekly bus trips into the main shopping centers. All municipal rates, sewerage and pedestal charges. We also subsidize your town water charges. If you are capable of mowing your own lawns we encourage you to do so and supply the lawn mower and brush cutter. If you are not capable through medical reasons, we will cut your lawns. Gardening can be arranged with the management, a quote will be given on this.

Telephone, electricity and gas, if you have it. Hervey Bay City Council employs the "user pays" system for town water so your town water is metered and charged every 4 months. The estate does however subsidize part of your water consumption. The Queensland Government collects the annual home owners Fire &Rescue Levy through the Council Rates. This year 2008, the levy is $4.24 per home per year.

There are no Government charges or stamp duty to pay.

Hervey Bay has a hospital (10 years old) and is just 6 kilometers from our village.

Hervey Bay is lucky to have a substantial number of family medical centers and our recent inquires indicate that they are welcoming new patients relocating from elsewhere.

Yes by all means, you are in complete control of your home and allotment and there is no extra charge for guests.

Children are not allowed to reside in the Estate on a permanent basis, but it's a great place to come and visit a while.

Yes we allow pets, subject to the approval of Management. As you would appreciate, too many animals in the Estate would make life impossible, so it a case of discussion.
(One pet per household. Caged birds excluded)

No, we are very proud of our community and all of us here in the Estate are owner-occupiers.

All the homes here are permanent relocatable, we do not have facilities for caravan living. We do however have a locked compound at the rear of the Estate, where residents can store their vans, boats and trailers at no extra charge.

Management has a marketing program through out the year and you may elect to join in one of those, or you can enlist the services of a local Real Estate Agent who sell our homes just like any other property. There are no exit fees and you keep the capital gain. If Management sells your home we do charge Real Estate commission.

Australia Post delivers your mail to your own letter box outside your front door every working day.

Management collects your kitchen waste from your garbage bin placed at your front boundary twice a week. There are yellow recycling bins located throughout the village for items eligible for recycling.

There is a green waste trailer located behind the shop for your garden clippings.

Please feel free to call us at any time and we will endeavor to put your mind at ease. We do normally have a small number of pre-loved homes for sale at most times. As you would appreciate, these are changing all the time. The homes range from $ 155,000.00 to $230,000.00. Please call me if you require more information on the homes or our Village.
