It’s full steam ahead for Providence’s wellbeing and nature-inspired Mandurah Lifestyle Resort, with startup works now officially underway on the site.

Providence’s Head of Development Sandra Klarich said the masterplanned over 50s resort, nestled at the corner of Pinjarra Road and Riverside Drive, had proven so popular it had already been extended.

“We’re experiencing unprecedented demand for homes in our gated and architecturally-designed lifestyle resorts – of which Mandurah is the fourth – and Australia will see another significant influx of retirees in the next two to five years,” explained Ms Klarich.

“On the back of this, and the fact that Stages 1 and 2 are selling so strongly, we’ve expanded our picturesque Mandurah Lifestyle Resort to 112 one, two and three bed homes.

“This is up from the original 77 abodes and allows us to provide more over 50s with a wonderful lifestyle opportunity while still being small enough to be a close-knit community.”

The larger Resort will also encompass a conservation wetland and include direct access to the Serpentine River foreshore.

With trucks and surveyors now on site and active works underway, Ms Klarich said those who’d already purchased energy efficient, low maintenance homes at the Resort were already planning their moves.

“It’s a busy time for our team and thrilling for our first homeowners – many of whom are downsizing from the local area but still very young and active – who are readying themselves to settle in around July next year,” she stated.

“Buyers love that Mandurah Lifestyle Resort has a permanent ‘holiday’ feel and so much on its doorstep – from golf courses to bushland to walk and cycle in, stunning fishing and camping spots, local breweries, wine bars and cafes, and more.

“There’s also deep interest our contemporary three building Clubhouse, which is designed to act as the social centrepiece of the Resort.”

The Clubhouse features a wellness centre, indoor heated swimming pool, bar, art studio, BBQ garden courtyard, cardio room, bowling green and more.

At Providence Lifestyle Resorts, there are no entry or exit fees and no stamp duty.

Each home boasts all-inclusive high specification fittings, appliances, solar panels, battery pack and landscaping, and is on its own fenced lot with private gardens and entertaining area.

Figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics released in May reveal 226,000 Australians intend to retire in the next two years and that number will swell to 710,000 within five years.
