Land Lease Communities Helping The Housing Shortage
ABC News Article
Over 55s lifestyle resorts could be part of the solution to the nation's housing crisis by freeing up more properties for families, according to the nation's peak retirement living body.
Retirement communities have seen a significant increase in popularity, as the population ages, and people start to downsize.
Eighty-one-year-old Glenys Kirkwood downsized eight years ago, and now lives in Taramind Place, an over-55s estate at Rockhampton in central Queensland.
"There are facilities like a swimming pool, spa, and we have our own movie theatre. There's our own gymnasium, and there's a very large clubhouse that I have certainly used on more than one occasion for family events.
"I've celebrated birthdays here, my family had their Christmases here," she said. In Australia, there are approximately 2 million people aged over 75.
That figure is expected to grow to 3.4 million over the next 20 years, Retirement Living Council (RLC) is an arm of the Property Council of Australia.
Its executive director Daniel Gannon said the retirement sector could play an important role in Australia's broader housing eco-system.
