Demand for retirement village properties in New South Wales’ Northern Rivers region surrounding Lismore has reached record levels of late, with village provider Oak Tree Group reporting that stages one, two and three of their Oak Tree Retirement Village Goonellabah development.

While Oak Tree has faced unprecedented delays of development progress due to the natural impacts of severe weather, the operator has successfully forged ahead with completion of stage two villas and onsite recreational facilities, including a Village Centre and in-ground swimming pool - all delivered on time.

Melissa Luck, Regional Manager of Oak Tree Group, described the occasion as ‘an exciting time,’ as residents received the keys to their new homes and entered the next chapter of retirement at the modern and friendly community.

“Now, one week on, I am pleased to say everyone is settling in nicely,” Melissa said.

The Goonellabah village is unique to the area, as it offers residents a relaxed and independent lifestyle within a low maintenance property in addition to the peace of mind that accompanies the security of gated-community living.

“If you’re considering the move to a Retirement Village, be sure to add an Oak Tree community to the list. Our friendly staff and residents welcome the opportunity to share their experience.”
