Golden Downs

Golden Downs is an over-50s land lease lifestyle community located at 462 Beams Road, Fitzgibbon, approximately 14km north of Brisbane's city centre. Residents purchase their own home — with prices from $360,000 — and lease the land via a weekly site fee, with no entry or exit fees, no stamp duty, and no council rates. The community comprises 231 homes set among manicured gardens, with resort-style facilities including a solar-heated pool, an 8-rink bowling green, tennis court, hairdresser, library, licensed bar, and a community clubhouse with a dance floor. On-site management and 24-hour caretakers provide security, and a community bus runs regular shopping trips and tours to local attractions. This is an independent living community for people aged over 50 and does not provide residential aged care, nursing, or clinical services.
