The Sunshine Coast’s newest over-50s community, Halcyon Dales, will offer unique standout features including a Bocce court, mountain-view lawn bowls, a gold class cinema, yoga studio, and dance floor.
Located on a 15-hectare site at the foot of the Glass House Mountains, Halcyon Dales will offer 212 low-maintenance, turnkey homes.
Each home will feature a 7-star Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS) rating, ensuring homes that have a lower cost to run.
The resort-quality complex will feature a heated magnesium pool, a two-storey clubhouse, roof-top bar, pickleball courts, a bowling green, creative arts spaces and a salon treatment room with sauna.
Recent Stockland research revealed Australia’s over 50s population is projected to grow by 1.8 per cent annually over the next decade, outpacing overall population growth by 0.4 per cent.
Queensland is expected to see a higher rate at 1.9 per cent, making it one of the only states with a net gain in senior internal migration across both capital and regional areas.
Coastal and rural regions in particular are hot spots as the sea and tree-change lifestyle trend gathers pace.
Stockland Project Director Andrew Astorquia said with the over 50s population expected to peak before 2035, the land lease sector was expanding to provide housing for the ageing population over the next decade.
“As baby boomers retire, the land lease model stands out as a key affordable living solution to boost Australia’s housing supply,” Mr Astorquia said.
“The decision to launch Halcyon Dales meets the demand for homes and enables buyers to move in sooner with our nine-month build guarantee.
“Halcyon Dales offers buyers top-of-the-line fixtures and high-quality finishes all pre-selected so homeowners can look forward to no-fuss builds and settlement as early as July 2025.”
Access to the community is via an upgraded Steve Irwin Way intersection that includes widened roads and a turning lane into the community, along with new pedestrian footpaths connecting Halcyon Dales to Beerwah, enhancing accessibility and safety into the local town centre.
Expressions of interest are now open, with the first release of six sites scheduled for January 2025 and monthly releases thereafter.
Construction of the first homes and intersection upgrades will also begin in January.
Stockland has 17 Halcyon’s land lease communities either established or in development across Queensland, and 24 communities nationally.
The land lease model gives customers the opportunity to free up capital with no hidden costs, stamp duty or deferred management fees, and homeowners retain all capital gains.
Halcyon Dales joins Halcyon Parks at Caloundra, Halcyon Landing and Halcyon Lakeside at Bli Bli, and B by Halcyon at Buderim which was recognised as Australia’s ‘Best in Seniors Living’ at the 2024 Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) National Awards for Excellence.
Halcyon Coves at nearby Aura is currently selling its second release with 15 sites remaining and Halcyon Nirimba has only re-sales available.
Halcyon Dales’ will hold an information session on 5 February from 10am to 12pm at B by Halcyon, Buderim.
With the first three information sessions reaching capacity, early registration is recommended by completing the ‘Register Now’ form on the website: https://www.stockland.com.au/halcyon-communities/qld/halcyon-dales
