Move to ease, not fees

THERE’s a calm that comes with living by the water. At Pelican Shores, residents sense it from the first morning, easy starts, familiar faces and the quiet pleasure of time well spent.

At this waterfront community for over 50s, living well feels beautifully straightforward.

Step inside this serene lifestyle community and people will notice the setting is calm and secure with gated entry, and the atmosphere is welcoming without being intrusive- the kind of place where people are known by name and always invited, never obliged.

With low maintenance homes, gardens and shared spaces looked after by the team, time flows back to you.

Read a chapter in the library, try your hand in the art or woodwork workshops, meet friends at the community centre, or take an easy dip in the outdoor pool before a relaxed barbecue. Pets are part of the picture too.

And the financials? They’re refreshingly clear. Pelican Shores is land lease living: you purchase your home and lease the land beneath it.

That structure delivers real advantages – no stamp duty on the purchase, no council rates, and no exit fees when you sell. Residents retain the capital gains, so hard-earned equity keeps working for you and your family.

 

If people receive the Age Pension, they may also be eligible for Commonwealth Rent Assistance to help with the weekly site fee (check your personal circumstances).

Right now, there’s even more to smile about: a limited-time $20,000 rebate* for new home buyers at Pelican Shores. Think of it as a confident step toward the life you’ve pictured – one with more connection, more freedom and a community that suits the way you want to live.

Location keeps everyday life effortless. Gateway Plaza with supermarkets, cafés and essentials is just down the road. There’s a local medical practice nearby, public transport along the Bellarine Highway, and University Hospital Geelong just 10 minutes away for added peace of mind.

Downsizing, at its best, isn’t about going without. It’s about choosing well. Keeping independence, security and the freedom to spend time on what matters and leaving behind the complexity that doesn’t serve you anymore.

Visit Pelican Shores for yourself. Walk the village boardwalk, meet with staff and residents and imagine how easily the days could unfold when everything is close by and the costs are clear.
