Construction of resort-style clubhouse begins at AVID’s over 50s lifestyle precinct in Fraser Coast

Vantage Hervey Bay, an exclusive over 50s community being developed by AVID Property Group (AVID) in the Fraser Coast, has achieved a new milestone with construction beginning on a new resort-style clubhouse along with luxurious amenities for its future residents. Leading Australian builder, Hutchinson Builders has been appointed to deliver the state-of-the-art clubhouse.

AVID general manager – Land Lease Communities Manuel Lang was joined by Fraser Coast Mayor George Seymour and Hutchinson Builders director Jack Hutchinson Jnr for a ceremonial sod turn to mark the key development milestone. The community amenities include a private $16.5-million clubhouse, resort-style pool, gym, tennis and pickleball courts, bowling green and yoga lawn.

According to Lang, the clubhouse was critical to the overarching vision for the development to foster a sense of luxury and community for its homeowners – right on their doorstep.

“From the moment our homeowners take a stroll within the expansive community they can benefit from the carefully considered design – features like walkable streets and our luxury amenities all promote living an active, connected lifestyle where neighbours really get to know each other,” Lang says.

“Our focus is to provide a living option that offers a holistic lifestyle, allowing buyers in this market to prioritise their physical and mental wellbeing, while still being only a stone’s throw away from the beautiful beaches of the Fraser Coast.

“Community connection is one of the vital selling points for our Vantage homeowners, and these amenities will become an extension of their homes, so it was important that we planned and partnered with leading industry experts to deliver the heart of our neighbourhood.”

Hutchinson observed that the behavioural shift in buyer needs and preferences has led to a rise of luxury amenities arriving in land lease developments.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with the AVID team on a vital part of the Vantage Hervey Bay project to create a vibrant community space that will connect neighbours and future friends,” he says.

Construction at Vantage Hervey Bay is already well underway, with the opening of two brand-new showcase homes in February 2025, and the first residents expected to move into their homes in April 2025.
