Vision for Gatton’s First Over-50s Lifestyle Community

Queensland developer Bocina Group has lodged plans for the first over-50s lifestyle community in Gatton in the Lockyer Valley to provide 267 new homes.

The 16.74-ha Solara Estate on Golf Links Drive is less than 800m from the town’s golf course.

Meeting the Growing Housing Demand in the Lockyer Valley

Bocina Group managing director Elijah Turkovic said the proposed land lease masterplan would deliver much needed housing for downsizers wanting to stay in the region close to family and social networks.

The Solara Club: The Heart of the Community

“Gatton faces a shortage of more than 600 suitable homes for over-50s with the figure expected to double within 10 years,’’ he said.

“Extensive recreation amenities are featured throughout the masterplan including an outdoor fire pit lounge, heated indoor pool and spa, steam room, sauna, gymnasium, dance/aerobics hall and yoga lawn, as well as pickleball courts and lawn bowls green,” Mr Turkovic said.

“The Solara Club is a central clubhouse adjoining the recreation spaces and includes an outdoor terrace, library, formal lounge and fireplace, a 33-seat cinema, function rooms and games areas.”

The plan also includes 39 RV storage spaces and gated access.
