In August 2021, the joint partners commenced sales of the proposed retirement village, which would be located adjacent to the not-for-profit EM Tooth retirement home and heritage-listed Lota House in Brisbane’s eastern coastal suburbs, on the bayside, 20km from the CBD.

Just last week it was announced that construction of the retirement village would be restarted, which three-and-a-half years ago, according to Retirement Village Group managing director Justin Harrison (pictured), will consist of two mid-rise buildings in Phase 1, each containing 23 buildings. apartments on 4 floors.

In October 2023, the Retirement Village group attempted to amend the permission granted by the Queensland Planning and Environment Court on 13 December 2019.

Now The Village Manly is set to relaunch as two six-storey buildings with 76 three-bedroom apartments starting from $1.3 million. Public spaces will be on the ground floor.

Construction, which was originally expected to begin in late 2021, is “expected to begin no later than January 2025 with an expected completion date of June 2026.”

This is the second venture between Anglicare Southern Queensland and The Village Retirement Group: The Village Taigum, 23km north of the Brisbane CBD, is the first village in the partnership.

NOTE. Despite repeated calls to Anglicare Southern Queensland for confirmation, the not-for-profit organization is behind plans to build 76 detached and attached two- and three-bedroom retirement homes across four floors as part of the first phase of a new retirement village in Nunda. It was the site of the former North Brisbane aged care Anglicare of South Queensland and the Tufnell House children’s home.
