On The Road With MHIA: Hello Lower North Coast!

During Nov, MHIA travelled across the lower North Coast of New South Wales, visiting communities to speak with residents, community staff and deliver brochures to estates that needed them. During our trip we observed a range of trends, witnessed some new developments, and strengthened our relationships with the villages we visited.

The Open Road

The week began with a visit to Palm Valley Village in Tarro, where we had an unexpected discovery. We noted that there was a difference in the number of letterboxes versus listed residences. While this doesn’t effect any of our customers home and contents cover it does help strengthen the data we gather on each community.

One notable improvement observed was the noise mitigation wall along the New England Highway, significantly enhancing the living experience for nearby residents. We know from direct feedback how much this will improve the experience living near such a busy motorway.

Community Growth

At Heatherbrae’s Hampshire Village Pacific Gardens Caravan Park, we listened to residents who commented on the communities mix of permanent, short, and long-term rentals and how they have been used as a form of tourist accommodation. Their feelings were positive and highlighted how a mix of housing solutions that can be present within land lease communities.

Forster Your Enthusiasm

Bad puns aside, we noted some exiting developments in the Forster area. Lakeside Forster Village, owned by Hampshire, has seen development. This includes removing on-site caravans and constructing new homes, a reflection of the ongoing trend to modernize existing villages.

Further Land Lease Developments

Renovations at Discovery Parks Forster continue to improve facilities and appeal to new home owners as well as Great Lakes Lifestyle Community owned by Serenitas offer a multitude of land lease community options. With so many growing, expanding and redeveloping communities in New South Wales we are sure there is a great opportunity for any new land lease homeowner to find the right fit for their needs.
