The amount is set at 10% of the purchase price of the unit or serviced apartment, and is paid directly to Woodlands Retirement Village.

Do I have to pay the monthly fees until I sell the unit?

Yes. If you purchase a Company Title unit, you are required to pay the fees until you sell the unit. It must be noted that you are not paying a Deferred Management Fee on departure. In other villages this can be up to 50% of the purchase price of the unit

No Parking spaces are limited and will need to have approval from Management.

Carports are individually owned by the residents who have chosen to build them. Most areas where carports can be built have now been used, so there are limited areas where carports can be built now, so there are no guarantees that a carport can be built.

An application for a carport must be lodged with the Board, who will consider the request and identify where it may be possible to build a carport. If there are no places in which to build a carport then you may be able to rent one or purchase one from the owner.

Yes, you can make changes, but we ask that you submit your application for changes to the Board for approval. There are some works which will affect common areas, which need to be overseen.  This also helps us to ensure the contractors have the correct certification, and help us to coordinate parking and contractor access.
