Benefits of the resort fee include:
- Personalised assistance by our Lifestyle Support team
- Maintenance of common garden areas and your front garden
- Maintenance and running costs of the Clubhouse and other resort-style facilities
Plus when you move to a Lifestyle Community you'll gain access to our leading resort-style facilities

- No water rates.
- Reduced building and contents insurance due to brand new home build and a secure, gated community environment.
- Discounted electricity.
- Reduced water and gas consumption (when downsizing your home).
