The growth in land lease communities sees established players like Ingenia Lifestyle lift its commitment in health and wellbeing as a marketing tool.

Its Hervey Bay community in the coastal city in southern Queensland, will turn the sod on the latest multimillion dollar clubhouse which will complement the community’s existing resident facilities ‘Eagle’s Nest’ and ‘The Hangar.’ It follows a string of amenity and facility developments breaking ground across Ingenia Lifestyle locations in QLD and NSW.

“We believe great amenities aren’t just a ‘nice-to-have’ – they’re an essential part of thriving and connected communities and we’ve seen how they successfully create places where people want to live,” Ingenia Lifestyle Head of Development QLD Adam Forrester said.

The community’s new clubhouse will round out the resident amenities at Hervey Bay, from the lounge, sport bar, library, media room, pool and bowling green of Eagle’s Nest, to The Hangar’s caravan, boat, and dog wash facilities, microbrewery, industrial laundry boat storage and workroom.

“This latest clubhouse will cater to health and wellness, featuring a well-equipped gym, golf simulator, steam room, sauna and pool as well as dedicated spaces for encouraging rest and relaxation with a lounge, bar facilities, private function area and multipurpose room,” Adam said.

“Ingenia consulted with the community on what they’d like to see included, with their responses informing the overall design. The clubhouse will provide an avenue for residents to maintain their physical health, create long lasting connections with like-minded neighbours, and forge a strong sense of community.”

The second clubhouse is set for completion by early 2025.
