After 13 years as a citrus farmer with very little leisure time, former high school teacher Dale Davis is delighted to be busy in a different way at Halcyon Parks in Caloundra.

“This place is just amazing,” Dale said. “There are so many things to do if you want to do them.

“The people here are so friendly, helpful and welcoming.”

With plenty of physical activity, cultural pursuits, social get-togethers and family time in her schedule, Dale is making the most of her Halcyon Days.

We tag along as she blends fitness, fun and friendship during a typical week in her busy life at ...

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 ...

Within our 7 Halcyon communities there are more then 1,000 homes which means we don’t just sell new homes, we sell established.

While we love welcoming new home owners to Halcyon, the beauty of our model is that you are free to move on at any time if you change your mind or if your circumstances change.

That’s life. Things happen and people find they need or want to move on. It may be deteriorating health, the desire to be closer to your family or simply time for a change.

Whatever the reason, Halcyon is here to help you take that ...

The days of going straight into aged care if you can’t quite manage things at home on your own are gone.

The path into full-time residential care now is a much longer one, with the Federal Government focussed on encouraging older Australians to stay in their homes longer and to “age in place”.

Halcyon project director of established communities Karen Carey, who has more than 30 years’ experience in the aged care sector, said the Australian Government is pouring significant resources into helping people to age in place.

This includes the funding of various levels of in-home care services such as housekeeping, home ...

HOME owners at Vision by Halcyon have gained a personal insight into the amazing life of their neighbour Raye Mauger, the wife of six-time world champion motorcycle speedway rider and sporting legend Ivan.

The couple’s incredible journey from regional New Zealand in the 1950s to a rock star-like lifestyle on Europe’s lucrative speedway circuit in the 70s was the focus of the Social Group dinner at the Rec Club in March.

After moving to Vision a year ago, Raye wanted to donate a copy of Ivan’s autobiography The Will To Win to the community’s library.

“I thought it would give other home owners ...

Integral to the fun, friendship and freedom of the Halcyon lifestyle, is mutual trust, community spirit and the comfort of knowing your neighbours.

Community living brings so many advantages – such as security, likeminded neighbours and new friends - but it does mean compromising in some small ways for the benefit of everyone.

Helping to shape the unique lifestyle that Halcyon home owners love and appreciate are our community rules or guidelines.

Some of these are governed by the legislation we operate under while others are better described as part of the ‘social contract’ of living at Halcyon.

This is the accepted social agreement ...

Each Sunday morning, a group of Halcyon Waters’ cyclists known as The Easy Riders, takes off for a leisurely ride. From time to time, they go farther afield; loading up their custom-made bike trailer and heading off to explore a picturesque corner of regional Queensland. Recently, 10 riders and two back-up crew took on ‘peanut country’ - the 43.5km South Burnett Rail Trail from Murgon to Kingaroy.

Easy Rider Graham Bezant (Beezer) penned this account of the trip and its memorable moments that made it yet another example of the fun, friendship and freedom that Halcyon home owners experience.
