Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT IS A LAND LEASE COMMUNITY?

A land lease community is where you own your home and lease the land, which is covered by a weekly site fee. This allows you access to all the community recreation and leisure facilities whilst allowing you to claim Commonwealth Government Rent Assistance (if eligible) to cover a significant portion of the weekly site fee. It’s a very affordable option for those over 50s looking for a place to retire.

ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL COSTS?

Besides the weekly site fee, the additional costs you are responsible for are normal service charges such as metered electricity, water usage, phone, internet, house and contents insurance.

ARE PETS ALLOWED?

Yes. We understand that pets are an important part of your family and they are welcome. We do have a pet policy that governs both cats and dogs, so please ask the sales consultant for more information.

CAN FRIENDS OR FAMILY STAY?

Absolutely! We ask that all visitors respect the conditions and guidelines set out in the Site Agreement and Rules, and they’ll be warmly welcomed. Please keep in mind that for longer stays, consent from the village manager will need to be obtained. 

CAN I RENT OUT MY HOME?

Great Lakes Lifestyle Village is owner-occupied only.

CAN I SELL MY HOME?

Yes, at any time. Either we can assist you in the sale, you can appoint an external selling agent or you can sell it yourself.
