RetireAustralia’s Tarragal Glen Retirement Village in Erina has completed a major expansion, adding 42 brand-new, premium one- and two-bedroom independent living apartments. With a total of 479 homes, Tarragal Glen stands as one of the largest and most sought-after retirement communities on the NSW Central Coast.
But what truly sets Tarragal Glen apart isn’t just its elegant new apartments or resort-style amenities—it’s the vibrant, caring community that residents like Greg and Gail Holbut have helped shape over more than 12 years.
Greg and Gail Holbut have called Tarragal Glen home for over a decade, embracing everything the village has to offer. Greg is passionate about the “social fabric” of the community, where neighbours look out for one another and friendships flourish. As they go about their day, the Holbuts often bump into so many fellow residents and stop for a chat that by the afternoon, they find themselves wondering where the day has gone.
Both Greg and Gail are active contributors to village life—Greg volunteers his technical skills to help others, while Gail runs two libraries in the village and leads a craft group that has raised thousands of dollars for Gosford Hospital. Their days are filled with meaningful connections, volunteering, and enjoying the natural beauty and vibrant social life of the village.
Greg also makes the most of Tarragal Glen’s convenient location, regularly using the nearby public transport hub to head into Sydney for outings and errands. He enjoys the freedom to jump on a bus for a day in the city and loves catching a movie at the shopping centre just a short walk from the village. This easy access to transport and entertainment adds to the vibrant, connected lifestyle that Greg and Gail value so much at Tarragal Glen.
When he’s not out and about, Greg loves spending time in their villa, especially relaxing in his favourite west-facing chair, enjoying the view of the sky and trees, and watching birds soar past his window. He also delights in cooking on his BBQ in the covered outdoor area, often with a glass of wine in hand.
“What we love most is the sense of community and belonging,” says Greg. “The social fabric here is something special—everyone is part of it, and you’re never just a face in the crowd. The peaceful atmosphere, friendly neighbours, and easy access to shops, medical facilities, and parks make every day enjoyable. It really feels like home.”
The newly completed apartments, designed by Marchese Partners, offer a choice of three spacious layouts—many with sweeping views over the village and neighbouring parklands. Each home is crafted for comfort and peace of mind, featuring premium finishes, spacious kitchens and bedrooms, elegant, accessible bathrooms, step-free access, wide doorways, and a discreet personal emergency response system. Residents can choose to access RetireAustralia Support at Home services if they ever wish—offering comfort in knowing that extra support is available should their circumstances change.
New residents will enjoy Tarragal Glen’s well-established amenities, including a country club with bar, hairdressing salon, library, indoor heated pool, gym, outdoor entertainment areas, bowls green and a village bus—offering connection, comfort and customised support in a vibrant community setting.
Conveniently located next to Erina Fair Shopping Centre, residents have immediate access to retail, dining, medical services and everyday essentials, making it easier to stay active, independent and connected to the broader Central Coast community.
RetireAustralia CEO Brett Robinson says, “Tarragal Glen is a much-loved part of the Central Coast community, and this next stage is about building on that strong foundation. We know there’s growing demand for quality retirement living, and we’re proud to be creating homes where people feel connected, supported and genuinely at home. It’s about more than just beautiful homes—it’s about community, lifestyle and peace of mind.”
RetireAustralia’s Tarragal Glen Retirement Village is located at 110 Karalta Road, Erina.
Toowoomba local Harley Brady’s part-time gardening job at Drayton Villas Retirement Village has blossomed into something more meaningful — extra time spent with his grandfather, Brian Brady, who lives in the village.
What began as a simple opportunity to tend gardens has become a heartwarming story of family connection and community spirit. Harley’s role not only helps maintain the village’s beautiful grounds but also strengthens the intergenerational bonds that make Drayton Villas feel like home.
Harley’s work doesn’t just keep the gardens green — it fosters connection. Residents appreciate his care, with Harley noting how “what’s simple for us can be a big thing for them.” His presence brings pride to Brian, who enjoys seeing his grandson contribute to the place he calls home.
Harley joined the Drayton Villas team in July 2024 after his grandfather told him about the job.
One strong bond has grown between Harley and his grandfather through their shared time and stories.
Dozens of residents now enjoy the thriving gardens Harley helps maintain each day.
Harley’s journey started when Brian told him about the gardener position. “He heard the previous gardener was leaving and asked if I’d be interested,” Harley recalls. “I said yes, and he got in touch with Michael, the Village Manager.”
Brian had already been singing Harley’s praises to the team. “When I started, they pretty much knew everything about me,” Harley laughs. “My grandfather was happy his hard work paid off.”
Harley, who also runs his own gardening business, says the village is one of the best workplaces he’s experienced. “Everyone was lovely from the start — it’s family-oriented and people really look out for each other.”
Drayton Villas Village Manager Michael McMullen says Harley and Brian’s connection reflects the village’s community spirit. “We’re proud of the strong sense of community here — it’s what makes the village feel like home. Seeing that connection extend across generations is really special,” he says.
For Harley, the role offers more than employment. “Normally you have to put time aside to visit family, but here I can just duck in after work. It’s great.”
As Drayton Villas continues to nurture a community built on care and connection, stories like Harley and Brian’s highlight how meaningful relationships can flourish right alongside the gardens.

Quality finishes and modern appliances come standard, with every apartment designed to meet Livable Housing Australia’s Gold Standard and Green Star sustainability accreditation. It’s a smart, future-ready choice that makes life easier now and adaptable for the years ahead.
Life at Arcadia is about enjoying the good things—whether that’s a chat in the library, a game of pool, or sunset drinks on the rooftop BBQ with views of the Brisbane skyline. There’s a resident bar and lounge, cinema, wine room, gym and yoga studio, and flexible spaces for events and activities. You can do a lot or a little—the choice is yours.
What sets Arcadia apart is its focus on making life easier and more enjoyable. There’s a seven-day concierge service to help with everything from booking taxis to tech support, plus a lifestyle coaching service to help residents get the most out of their next chapter—whether that’s joining a local art class, finding a travel agent, or connecting with neighbours.

Arcadia is being developed by RetireAustralia, a leading retirement village owner, operator and developer headquartered in Brisbane. This is the company’s third greenfield project in six years, alongside expansions at five established communities across New South Wales and Queensland.
RetireAustralia’s first two new developments are award-winning—one recognised nationally for sustainability in retirement living, and the other recently named Queensland’s best community accommodation by the Master Builders Association. With a strong track record and a clear vision for the future, RetireAustralia continues to set the standard for retirement living in Australia.
“Arcadia is all about living without compromise. We know today’s retirees want more than just a place to live—they’re looking for genuine connection, choice, and the freedom to enjoy life on their own terms. That’s why we’ve created a community where premium design meets old-fashioned community spirit, where support is always there if you need it, but never in your way.
From beautifully designed apartments to vibrant shared spaces, a dedicated concierge and lifestyle coaching service, and a team ready to make every day easier, Arcadia is about helping residents live well, feel at home, and truly thrive in this next chapter.

“The display suite lets you step into Arcadia before it opens. Using immersive 3D technology, we can show you exact floor plans, apartment outlooks and how the amenities connect—so you can picture daily life here with confidence,” says Paul McAlpine, Chief Sales, Marketing and Communications Officer.
Interest has been strong, with over 100 enquiries and nine appointments in the first two weeks. It’s clear that Arcadia’s blend of privacy, community and peace of mind is striking a chord.
Only 45 apartments are being released in the first stage—and they come with a unique advantage: key amenities under the same roof, including the bar and lounge, library, dining and function space, community centre and care hub. Secure your place now and enjoy the good life from day one.

Older Australians looking to downsize without compromise now have a rare opportunity to secure boutique, seniors living in one of Sydney’s most sought-after locations, with the official reopening of RetireAustralia’s Queens Park Retirement Village in Waverley.
Following an extensive refurbishment, the village marked its reopening with a lively community event featuring live entertainment (hello, Elvis!), lunch, and guided tours of the newly upgraded serviced apartments and shared amenities. Residents and team members came together to celebrate the milestone, including recognition of long-serving staff who have helped shape the village’s warm, supportive culture over the years.
Simon Fawssett, RetireAustralia Chief Operating Officer, reflected on the long-standing relationships that make Queens Park special. His words of appreciation for the community’s history and shared memories resonated with guests, highlighting the genuine sense of belonging that defines the village.
Resident Catherine Russell said the day captured everything special about the community:
“Everyone had a lovely time. The food was beautiful, the company was great, and we even had Elvis! Simon’s speech was very touching — he fondly remembered two long-time residents no longer with us. And remarkably, it didn’t rain on the parade.”
Nestled next to the iconic Centennial Parklands and just minutes from Westfield Bondi Junction, the village offers residents the perfect blend of independence, community, and convenience.
The recently refurbished serviced apartments feature modern finishes and are complemented by daily meals, cleaning and linen services, as well as personalised care options—all available without the need for an ACAT assessment or long waiting lists.
Thoughtfully designed, each serviced apartment maximises space to enhance comfort and autonomy, allowing residents to enjoy independent living while having access to the right level of support when it’s needed.
Village Manager, Josie Lloyd said the new apartments stand out for their modern design and unbeatable location. “You’ve got Centennial Park and Westfield Bondi Junction right on your doorstep, plus a welcoming, family-style community and really competitive pricing — it’s a rare combination in Sydney’s East,” she said.
Paul Smith, Manager – Sales (Sydney), said Queens Park offers exactly what many people are looking for. “It’s a genuine community — safe, supportive, and empowering. Our new serviced apartments help residents maintain their independence and dignity, reduce reliance on family or hospital care, and provide access to practical health support whenever it’s needed. Residents can enjoy confidence in daily life while feeling part of a connected, caring community,” he said.
For those seeking a social lifestyle, the village offers regular dance classes, bowling, fitness sessions, bingo, and more. Others prefer the serene outdoor spaces, sunny pool deck, and easy access to nearby cafés and parks.
“Whether you want to stay active and social or relax in peace and comfort, Queens Park lets you live life your way,” said Josie.
In the midst of a national housing and aged care crisis, Queens Park Retirement Village offers an innovative alternative — providing older Australians with quality age-friendly homes, care, and connection in an area where affordability is often out of reach.
With its fresh design, strong community spirit, and focus on helping residents age well, Queens Park is proving to be one of Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs’ hidden gems.
To make the move even more rewarding, RetireAustralia is offering new residents who join Queens Park Retirement Village before 31 March 2026 a generous $10,000 to use towards their personal care. These funds can be accessed at any time while you live in the village, giving you the flexibility and peace of mind to enjoy village life with support when you need it most. It’s just one more way Queens Park is helping older Australians live independently, comfortably, and on their own terms.

Laughter, cherry blossoms, and a bus full of new friendships — that’s what life looked like for The Verge at Burleigh G.C. Retirement Village residents who travelled together to the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers last week.
Led by Jeff Burchell, Chair of The Verge’s Social Committee, the day trip brought together 42 residents from The Verge, along with friends from The Green Tarragindi Retirement Village and Drayton Villas Retirement Village, for a colourful celebration of connection and community.
In total, 91 people joined the day. The Verge residents first collected friends from The Green before heading to Queens Park gardens. At Drayton, Jeff presented gifts before everyone enjoyed lunch and a tour with the Drayton team and residents. The day finished at the serene Japanese Gardens, where the group spent time together before returning home.
“We just love it”
Exploring Queens Park and the Japanese Gardens, residents were immersed in colour — and each other’s company.
“The highlight for me was seeing all the gardens,” said Verge resident Jenny Egan. “We enjoy all the people, and of course Jeff organising events like this — he’s absolutely amazing.”
Her husband Jeff agreed: “It’s a great community and we all work together, look out for each other. We just love it.”
For Lynne Girvan, the day was about more than flowers. “This is the first big event we’ve joined, and I’ve met people today I didn’t even know lived at The Verge,” she said. “That’s what’s so lovely about these outings — they bring people together. And the cherry blossoms in the Japanese Gardens were just beautiful.”
“The Verge is my second family”
Resident Margaret Creer said days like this are exactly why she calls The Verge her forever home.
“There’s always something on, and whenever there’s a trip, if I can do it, I’ll join. You meet other people and it’s lovely. There’s a lot of camaraderie at The Verge — that’s what makes it so special.”
She added with a smile: “At my age in life, I think I might not be able to later, so I try to join in with everything that’s going on.”
For Jeff, who organised the day, the trip wasn’t just about seeing flowers — it was about strengthening the bonds that make retirement living so rewarding.
“After we had the inter-village bowling day at The Green earlier this year, we made some great friendships, so we invited them this time too. We’ll continue to include other villages when we have events like this because we all belong to the same family.”
From sharing stories over lunch to strolling through Toowoomba’s floral displays, the Carnival of Flowers gave residents more than just a scenic day trip. It offered connection, joy, and a reminder of the wellbeing benefits of community living — where friendships, activities, and support are always close at hand.
“After the success of today, I think we’ll continue to see even more of these community gatherings. It brings everyone closer together,” said Jenny.
The Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers, held annually in September, attracts thousands of visitors to celebrate the city’s spectacular blooms. Much like the blossoms in Toowoomba, the community spirit at The Verge is vibrant, colourful — and always growing.

After decades living in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, Carmel never imagined she’d one day call Queens Park Retirement Village home—especially after spending 25 years living right next door.
“I used to hear music coming from the village and joke, ‘When I grow up, I’m going to jump the fence and live there,’” she recalls. Five years ago, she did just that.
Carmel’s move was prompted by a conversation with her financial advisor, who warned that renting would quickly deplete her savings. “I didn’t think I could afford it,” she says. “But he said, ‘If you rent, you’ll go through your savings in no time.’ It turned out to be the best advice I’ve ever received.”
In the midst of a housing and aged care crisis, Queens Park offers something rare: affordable, assisted living for older Australians in one of Sydney’s most desirable locations. Nestled beside Centennial Parklands and just minutes from Westfield Bondi Junction, this boutique village is redefining what it means to age well.
Unlike traditional aged care, Queens Park doesn’t require an ACAT assessment or have long waiting lists. Residents enjoy beautifully refurbished serviced apartments, daily meals, cleaning and linen services, and access to personal care—all while maintaining their independence.
For Carmel, the move to Queens Park has been transformative. She’s formed close friendships within the village and stayed connected with friends nearby. Whether it’s bingo, happy hour, Zumba, or catching up with old friends and getting out to the nearby Bronte Beach, she embraces the independence and flexibility that life at Queens Park offers.
“It’s like family here,” she says. “The staff are wonderful—I call them the Queens Park Angels.”
With 24/7 on-site staff and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, Queens Park offers peace of mind for residents facing health challenges. Carmel, who is preparing for two shoulder replacement surgeries, says knowing support is available when needed makes all the difference.
“I always say, if I won Powerball, I’d still live here,” she laughs. “It’s close to my happy places, and I couldn’t be in a better spot.”
For older Australians seeking affordable, assisted living in a vibrant and well-connected location, Queens Park Retirement Village is proving to be a hidden gem.

The $40 million project is set for first move-ins from October, with prices ranging from $680,000 to $1.2 million. Over 30 homes have sold in the village this year, which has a waiting list, highlighting sustained demand for high-quality retirement living in the region.
Elegant, accessible design meets everyday functionality in the latest apartments at Tarragal Glen Retirement Village.
Designed by Marchese Partners, the apartments offer a choice of three distinct layouts, many enjoying sweeping views across the village or adjacent parklands.

A discrete personal emergency response system is included in every apartment, and residents also benefit from access to RetireAustralia Home Care services to support their independence over time.
New apartments at Tarragal Glen feature light-filled living and elegant design.
The project also includes a range of village improvements, including a new resident workshop, BBQ area with outdoor furniture, upgraded gardening and maintenance facilities and additional parking.
New residents will enjoy Tarragal Glen’s well-established facilities, including a country club with bar, hairdressing salon, library, indoor heated pool, gym, outdoor entertainment areas, bowls green and a village bus—offering connection, comfort and customised support in a vibrant community setting.

RetireAustralia’s National Manager – Learning & Development, Murray Humphrey, has been named Learning & Development Manager of the Year at the Institute for Learning & Performance’s Asia Pacific Learning Impact Awards.
Notably, Murray’s achievement comes after competing against finalists from some of Australia’s largest national corporates, including 7-Eleven and Mirvac, making this recognition even more significant for RetireAustralia and the retirement living sector.
“We’re incredibly proud of the work we do in L&D, and it’s an honour to be recognised alongside so many inspiring organisations and individuals. I look forward to continuing to deliver excellent training outcomes for our RA teams.” said Humphrey.
RetireAustralia operates 29 retirement communities with over 5,000 residents across South Australia, New South Wales and Queensland—an environment in which the L&D function has become a strategic lever for service quality and workforce capability.
Humphrey’s win is a powerful endorsement of the work he leads at RetireAustralia, where he has integrated nationally recognised vocational education and training (VET) into the business, supporting more than 500 employees and ultimately enhancing resident outcomes.
He has established partnerships with RTOs that have enabled team members to attain nationally recognised qualifications from Certificate III to Diploma level. The coursework is enriched with industry-specific content, ensuring training is both accredited and aligned to real-world roles.
Performance metrics highlight the impact of this approach: over 90% of learners would recommend training to a colleague, satisfaction with L&D has reached a nine-year high, and resident satisfaction sits at 87%. These results demonstrate the tangible benefits of a robust learning and development strategy for both employees and residents.
Brett Robinson, RetireAustralia CEO, said “At RetireAustralia, our commitment to continuous learning is at the heart of everything we do. By embedding VET principles and partnering with RTOs, we’ve built a highly skilled, agile workforce that’s able to respond to change and deliver exceptional care. Murray’s leadership in Learning & Development has been instrumental in creating thriving communities where older Australians can live the life they choose in their own home. This award is a testament to the real difference our L&D team makes—not just to our people, but our residents too.”
The recognition capped a strong showing for RetireAustralia at the ILP awards, with Humphrey and L&D Advisor Chloe Smoothy also named finalists for L&D Team Excellence—a notable achievement for a two-person function supporting more than 500 employees nationwide.

RetireAustralia’s first nurse-led Care Hub has marked its first year of operations, reaching functional capacity within 12 months and demonstrating strong demand for dignified, homelike support embedded in retirement living. The 10-suite hub—at The Verge Retirement Village on the Gold Coast—provides 24/7, registered nurse-led care in a boutique care environment that keeps residents close to community and family.
RetireAustralia Chief Operating Officer Simon Fawssett said the model was designed around what older Australians want most. “People want to be cared for in their own home. That sentiment underpinned our strategy from the beginning,” he said.
Unlike traditional aged care, the Care Hub removes common access barriers — there’s no ACAT assessment or asset testing — and supports both short-term respite and longer-term stays based on need. Suites are self-contained for privacy and autonomy, while shared spaces encourage connection. The care hub was built to National Construction Code Class 9C and Livable Housing Australia Gold Level, with design informed by University of Stirling principles that address age-related impairments.
Residents say the difference is tangible. David, a retired journalist living with Parkinson’s, moved into the Care Hub from his apartment at The Verge and has regained confidence through tailored care and daily exercise, while his wife, Kathy, remains living independently nearby. Isla, the hub’s first resident, describes the team as “family,” reflecting a focus on compassion, continuity and choice.
Demand has been sustained through the year, with a steady sell-down rate of around one suite per month. As the model evolves in response to resident needs and sector shifts, recent pricing updates reflect benchmarking and strong demand: the ingoing contribution has moved from $600,000 to $650,000, the daily care and services fee from $300 to $315, and the daily accommodation fee from $54 to $92.Verney DCG Meeting
“Looking ahead, we’re refining rather than replicating,” Fawssett said. “From staffing to financial models, we’re building on what works and preparing for what’s next.
