Over 55's Living in QLD - Buyer Overview

 

Location

Situated in the heart of the Wide-Bay Burnett Region, Mountain Haven Resort is just a short stroll into the Centre of the historic and strangely almost bohemian township of Childers. With all the modern supermarkets and franchises the Childers shopping village has everything needed for easy and well-located resort style living.  

Titles

Generally speaking, homes are purchased by way of a 99-year Lease registered in your name(s).  Full information is noted on the Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Water database. Your lease on the title of your unit will be registered with the Dept of Natural Resources (i.e. the Titles Office) for the duration of your tenure to give you peice of mind in respect of your leasehold ownership.

 

Capital Gains

You are entitled to 100% of any capital gain upon the future re-sale of your Unit.

 

Community Facilities

The Village facilities, upon completion, will include a large clubhouse, a well-stocked library, a snooker/pool table, lounge area, dance floor, commercial kitchen, manager’s office as well as a heated pool.  Outside is an exercise area, outdoor pool and spa, BBQ entertainment area and croquet lawn. The Village also boasts a large work shed/craft area alongside well established and beautiful garden landscaping. This village is one of the first Greenstreet style developments in Queensland which maximises security and privacy with optimum use of the Common Areas and Common Facilities helping to provide an attractive lifestyle for retirees.

 

On-Site Maintenance

Body Corporate Management carry out maintenance of Common Facilities, Common Areas, Resort lawns, and gardens as well as the exterior of leasehold homes.  

 

Body Corporate Service Fees:

 

In Queensland based Community Title Schemes (CTS) Residents contribute to the overall costs of maintaining and operating the scheme via a Body Corporate Manager.

At Mountain Haven Resort, these costs will be apportioned to each residence on an equal share basis, by way of a periodic charges known as 'the Body Corporate Fees'.

​​

Administration Fund

The Costs of the Administration Fund contribution will vary over time as more units in the Community Title Scheme are constructed and will commence in 2026 at $225.00 per calendar month. This fee is your contribution to maintaining the operations of the Body Corporate Manager of the CTS. Such administrative costs wil include things like needed for the efficient administration of the CTS, such as accountancy & legal services, IT&T services, staff, Clubhouse, Pool, BCM office cleaning, building and public liability insurances and waste management. 

 

Sinking Fund

The Costs of the Sinking Fund contribution will vary over time as more units in the Community Title Scheme are constructed and will commence in 2026 at $125.00 per calendar month. This fee is your contribution to the maintenance of your home and common infrastructure of the CTS.

​

Lease Management Fees 

 As part of the overall fee structure a fixed lease management fee will also be applicable with the fee either being payable upfront, or alternatively at the time when an existing resident decides to terminate their existing lease. This cost helps to meet the infrastructure establishment costs for the BC and the CTS Developer.

 

This fee will therefore not put any drain on the weekly income of in-situ residents and is is ultimately 'off-set' against any capital gain received by the outgoing resident when their lease is resold.
