70 people show interest in Oak Tree’s 35 new villas

Aware Super’s retirement village operator had to split an information session about the final stage of its Darling Heights village in Toowoomba, 132km west of Brisbane, into two due to demand.

More than 70 guests attended as Oak Tree Group CEO Christine Gilroy, Group Development Manager, Luke Thomas, Regional Manager Lissa Olsen, and Sales Manager Mary O’Neill spoke about the $22 million investment in the retirement village.

“We know downsizing isn’t just about moving house. It’s simplifying life, it’s gaining security, it’s finding connection. Our goal is straightforward – to create places people are proud to call home,” Christine said.

“This level of interest demonstrates the strong demand for well-designed, connected retirement living in Toowoomba.”

The final stage will deliver 35 new villas including 20 three-bedroom and 15 two-bedroom homes, bringing the Darling Heights community to a total of 55 residences.

Together with Oak Tree’s fully occupied 58-home Baker Street village, the two communities provide 113 villas in Toowoomba.
