The village is centred around a substantial lake and community facilities buildings fronting and overhanging into the lake.

The Lakes Retirement Village is the result of an exhaustive collaboration process recognising and responding to the suggestions of prospective residents, staff, the design team, and the village manager.

The end result reflects the planning and objectives reached by the design team in creating surroundings having an inherent sense of dignity and serenity without sacrificing the more functional needs of the residents and staff.

The Lakes will be made up of a total of 330 independent living units when completed, surrounding a large and well appointed community facilities building.
