The shared recreation facilities like the Clubhouse, pool and cinema are covered by your ongoing site fee, as is the land your home is built on. The site fee is calculated by considering factors such as your home’s location and the size of your site.

Every new home comes with a statutory warranty and guarantee relevant to QLD legislation. All other guarantees and warranties within your home are passed on to you at the time of settlement, or when you move in.

Getting a home loan for a land lease property isn’t common. If you’d like to though, we suggest seeking independent financial advice. However, you might be eligible for government rental assistance through Centrelink. To find out, visit the Services Australia website.

You can visit the Services Australia website to determine your eligibility or get in touch if you need help finding out this information.

As part of our Site Agreement, buying into a land lease community must be done in a personal capacity.

Thyme Lifestyle Resorts is a community designed exclusively for homeowners, so homes aren't available for rent.

As part of your Site Agreement, you must occupy your home. This is the case even if you’re going away for an extended period of time.

Absolutely. Just as with any other home, your place at Thyme Lifestyle Resorts forms part of your estate and can be passed on to your beneficiaries. They may choose to sell it, or even live in it themselves if they fit the community eligibility criteria.

As Thyme Lifestyle Resorts’ philosophy is for you to be in your element, we’re more than happy to welcome pets. To find out more about our pet policy, get in touch with one of our sales consultants.

Absolutely. We not only encourage your loved ones to visit, but they can also stay with you short-term. While they’re here, they’re more than welcome to use the recreational facilities on offer. We just ask that all guests respect and follow the community guidelines set out in the Site Agreement & Rules. For longer stays, please reach out to your Resort Consultant.

All Thyme Lifestyle Resorts are master planned land lease communities. This is a home ownership style where you own your home and lease the land it sits on, which is covered by a weekly site fee. This model gives you full access to the community’s recreation and leisure facilities while claiming Commonwealth Government Rent Assistance, if eligible. As this assistance can cover a significant portion of your weekly site fee, land lease living offers an affordable, secure, and vibrant lifestyle for over-50s.

Beyond the weekly site fee, there are no extra costs outside of typical home ownership expenses. You’ll cover the usual utilities and services such as water, electricity, sewerage, internet, phone, and home insurance, just as you would in any other home. You also won’t pay stamp duty, council fees or other government charges.

Your home remains entirely yours and it can be sold at any time, either with our assistance, through an external agent, or on your own. It also forms part of your estate and can be passed on to your beneficiaries. If they meet the community criteria, they may even choose to live in it themselves.
