SA/NT Village Manager of the Year has a different background to most

1 min read

In a former life, David Boggan was general manager of multiple private members’ clubs across the country – including a stint at The Gatwick Club in London. 

He joined SA property investment fund ICAM in 2022 as a village manager within their small portfolio of two villages. 

David’s strong background in high-end hospitality management cemented a seamless transition to ICAM’s Langton Park Retirement Village in Campbelltown, a northeastern suburb of Adelaide, as its manager and efforts have seen him named the Retirement Living Council's SA/NT Village Manager of the Year. 

Since entering the retirement living sector in May 2023, David has been the spearhead for meaningful change, leading Langton Park Retirement Village to become Australian Retirement Village Accreditation Scheme (ARVAS) accredited, the first compliance of its kind in 31 years. 

David oversees a team that cares for 137 residents across 110 homes and his leadership has been characterised by “meticulous planning, organisation, and execution of the necessary policies and procedures have ensured the village operates efficiently and complies with industry standards”. 

ICAM nominated David for the award, describing him as a person who “creates a culture of learning and collaboration”, adding he has consistently provided exceptional outcomes at Langton Park Retirement Village by embracing change and fostering innovation. Recognising the need for improved communication and efficiency, he introduced new employee meetings that facilitate collaboration among staff and residents.
