A vibrant, connected and service-rich location is the backdrop for every Halcyon community, and the site of our latest project, Halcyon Greens at Pimpama, epitomises this philosophy.

While this spectacular 500-home community is surrounded by lush golf course fairways and a beautiful wetland conservation zone, it also sits at the heart of the Gold Coast’s latest boom town.

Located just east of the M1 and immediately north of Coomera, Pimpama was once a sleepy rural area dotted with farms and acreage properties.

Thanks to the meteoric rise of neighbouring Coomera and the city’s burgeoning population, Pimpama is firmly on the radars of government ...

Watch the WIN NEWS coverage from the opening of the $5 million Lifestyle and Recreational Precinct at Halcyon Lakeside.

Home owners Fran and Ian Ritchie have traded a luxurious oceanfront apartment for a bigger slice of social life at Halcyon Greens.

The couple lived on Ephraim Island at Paradise Point for almost two years, and while they loved the magnificent water views from their sub-penthouse, they felt that something was missing on the social front.

“When you retire you want a social network and we found living vertically, as you do at Ephraim Island, that there’s no social aspect to it,” Ian said.

“You might meet up with one or two people, but it’s just like high-rise living and you might not ...

Halcyon Lakeside newcomer Peter Hitchcock spent almost half of his 40-year public service career rubbing shoulders with premiers, prime ministers, ambassadors and even royalty.

The former accountant’s role as a senior protocol officer for Queensland’s Department of Premier and Cabinet made him responsible for rolling out the red carpet for the Government’s VIP guests between the early 1980s and 2000.

Peter worked under successive Premiers, from Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen to Peter Beattie, arranging everything from airport pick-ups and hotel drop-offs for dignitaries to official receptions and State funerals.

The job also required him to organise trips and escort VIPs to key Queensland destinations, ...

Instead, they’re looking forward to their daily bike ride, relaxing walks on the beach and catching up with their neighbours on the front patio.

The couple made their favourite beach holiday destination their new home mid last year and plan to spend their 60s living it up at Caloundra.

No longer tied to maintaining a big family home and garden at Brackenridge, Gail and Lyle are embracing a more active and social way of life.

“We wanted to do this ...

The epicentre of this bowls rivalry is Glades, where a group of keen bowlers has organised to play each community in the Halcyon family over the next few months.

Kicking off in early March, the home-and-away series will see Glades play host to Halcyon Parks, Halcyon Greens (whose team includes some Vision bowlers) and Halcyon Waters respectively over three consecutive Sundays.

The Glades team will then travel to Lakeside, Landing and Parks for competition on Sundays during April and May ...

Two's company on a cruise but 18 is a party, as a group of Halcyon Glades home owners discovered when they hit the high seas together.

Their time aboard the Sun Princess took the nine couples ‘Across the Ditch’ to experience everything from spectacular Milford Sound and historic Dunedin to art deco-inspired Napier and harbourside Auckland.

Tour leader “Mama” Carole Ritchie initiated the group trip after enjoying the same cruise six years ago.

“As the instigator, I was a bit anxious that people wouldn’t get along,” she said.

But like life at Halcyon, it was the ideal combination of spending time together and doing ...

Vision by Halcyon home owner Rick Parkes is about to embark on an epic journey that will combine two of his great passions – trekking and the Nepalese people.

Aged 74, the experienced trail walker, mountain climber and seasoned world traveller is preparing to walk 817km along the northern coast of Spain to raise money for disadvantaged kids in rural Nepal.

To prepare for the 50-day journey, Rick has been pulling on a 10kg backpack and hitting the treadmill in Vision’s gym each day while also doing lots of stretching and completing a decent bushwalk each week.

In Spain, he will walk one ...
