Independent Living Units come under the legislation of the Retirement Villages Act 2012 and are afforded protection by the act, providing peace of mind to the residents. Independent Living Units also provide you with the peace of mind to know that you will live in a maintenance free environment. All you will need to do is your own cooking and the cleaning of your unit. The Management Group through their Property Manager will be responsible for looking after all maintenance of buildings, plant and equipment, gardening, general cleanliness and any other contractual obligations. If you have any issues with fixtures within your unit, i.e., a faulty appliance, leaking tap or blown light globe, these will be fixed for you at no additional charge. You don’t even need to remember to put the bins out on rubbish night! You simply do not need to be concerned about maintenance matters. You will also be happy in the knowledge that you have not had to pay stamp duty, that you are living in an environment of like minded and similar aged people.
