Balmoral Village

For over three decades Balmoral Village has been at the leading edge of professional standards for accommodation, facilities, support services and – most importantly –  resident satisfaction.

Industry leadership

Established in 1984, the village has 214 homes and nearly 300 residents. Balmoral was one of the first villages to be accredited by the Retirement Village Association of Australia.

Balmoral has a long established reputation for successfully meeting the needs of its residents. A dedicated and caring staff supported by an experienced Board of Directors ensures the highest standards of day to day management and service.

Stable and secure

Balmoral Village will appeal to those who are seeking a superior, low maintenance alternative to the obligations, uncertainties and, sometimes, isolation that can come with traditional home ownership.

By working together the residents, manager and owner continue to maintain Balmoral's pre-eminence.

The Owners

Balmoral Gardens Pty Ltd

A private company, Balmoral Gardens Pty Ltd, has owned the village since 1988. The Village is served by professional staff supported by an experienced Board of Directors committed to providing the highest possible standards of accommodation and services.

The Managers

Balmoral Gardens Management Pty Ltd

Balmoral Gardens Management Pty Ltd is the manager of the village; it collects the weekly maintenance charges paid by residents, employs the village staff and manages the day to day operations of the village.

 

The Residents

You can contribute to the management of the village through the Balmoral Residents' Association, which elects its own Committee annually. The Committee meets on a regular basis and has a close working relationship with the Manager and Directors.

The form of tenure at Balmoral is a life time Lease. This single document sets out all of the rights and obligations of all parties. The Retirement Villages Act ensures security of tenure and other statutory safeguards for residents in all retirement villages in Victoria and Balmoral Village is no exception.

 

A range of affordable options

 

 

The following indicative Ingoing Contributions were current at 1 September 2018. The level of Ingoing Contributions varies depending on the location and particular attributes of the accommodation and is reviewed every six months.

Prospective residents should check with the Village Manager as to current prices.
