Lyrebirds are brilliant mimics, so if they mimic a woman screaming in terror and begging for her life, they have witnessed a crime. But how does a young, hung over PHD student and a wet behind the ears new detective, convince anyone that a native bird can be a reliable witness to a murder, especially when there is no body and no missing person?
Introducing The Cambridge: A New Era of Retirement Living near The Epping Club
Imagine retiring in the heart of Epping, close to everything you know and love, just across the railway line from The Epping Club.
Opening in Spring 2025, The Cambridge is a 28-storey vertical retirement village offering 158 architect-designed independent living apartments, views to the harbour and the Blue Mountains, with several lower floors set aside for an aged care facility, to be operated by Opal HealthCare.
Residents will enjoy a vibrant, connected lifestyle with access to a clubhouse, rooftop terrace, indoor heated pool, gym, and beautiful social spaces — all just steps from the local shops, cafés, and the community they’ve always known.
Designed to bring generations together, The Cambridge will sit within a thriving precinct that also includes a rebuilt primary school and retail outlets. It’s perfect for those who want to stay active,
Jim McKeon.
social and independent, with the peace of mind that help is close by if their care needs change in future years.
Levande’s Chief Executive Officer, Kevin McCoy, says The Cambridge reimagines retirement living for modern seniors and is a truly intergenerational development: “Our future residents tell us they love the strong sense of
community that’s already building around The Cambridge. Because many buyers are Epping locals, people who’ve bought here are discovering they already know some of their future neighbours.”
If you’ve ever thought about a simpler, more connected lifestyle without leaving Epping, now’s the time to start the conversation. With Australians living longer,
healthier lives, retirement living is no longer about slowing down — it’s about living well, in style, and on your terms.
“The benefit of the community’s high-rise design also means residents are only an elevator ride away from all the five star amenities we offer.”
- Kevin McCoy
