FAQs (a.k.a the things everyone asks)
Yes! You own your home outright. You just pay a simple weekly site fee for the land, access to amenities, and maintenance of the community.
It’s one handy fortnightly direct debit that covers:
- The land lease
- Maintenance of shared areas (gardens, roads, clubhouse)
- Access to pools, gyms, community hall, and other facilities
You just need to budget for your own utilities – water, power, internet – nothing unexpected.
If you’re eligible, yes! Many residents receive Commonwealth Rent Assistance, which helps offset that site fee. Centrelink or Veterans’ Affairs can confirm your eligibility.
Each state legislates Land Lease Communities slightly differently, even though the core model is still the same. Refer to the following legislation for each state:
QLD – Manufactured Homes (Residential Parks) Act 2003 (Qld)
NSW – Residential (Land Lease) Communities Act 2013 (NSW)
VIC – Residential Tenancies Act 1997 (Vic), Part 4A
None at all.
- No stamp duty
- No entry or exit fees (with a few exceptions at Officer and Kangaroo Flat – your New Home Advisor will walk you through those)
Absolutely. Guests? Bring them along. Pets? Small furry friends are welcome too – just register them with your Community Manager.
Rubbish: Weekly general waste, fortnightly recycling; green waste can be removed by request.
Mail: Dropped into your letterbox by the regular postie.
Home Maintenance: Your home is built for minimal fuss. We’ll suggest a few handy upkeep tips, but no major repairs unless something odd happens.
Certainly! If you’re buying off-the-plan, you can choose colours and upgrades from our approved range (subject to approvals). And once you’re in, internal changes are allowed within guidelines – just keep external colour or structural changes consistent to protect the community feel.
All of it. You appoint whichever agent you like, and 100% of any capital gains are yours, no catches.
Deferred management fees apply at Officer Lifestyle Estate and Lincoln Lifestyle Kangaroo Flat. Please contact the relevant New Home Advisor for more information.
