There's no better location for an over 55's lifestyle village or independent living centre than gorgeous Mundaring. Nestled amongst natural surrounds in the Perth Hills, Mundaring is a suburb known for its tranquillity, community connections, and cultural events. So, if you're a developer seeking an opportunity that already has approvals in place, you need look no further. Centrally located close to parks, cafes, shops, doctors, chemist, the library, plus arts, crafts, and historical facilities, the potential to create something unique and appealing - in a place that sells itself as far as desirability - is truly unparalleled.
All you need is this site, and to create it - whether that be by creating vacant survey strata lots for people to build or to build the finished product in total. The position will sell itself. The site itself is north facing with lovely views over the valley, which offers a raft of sustainability integration options to the development, including passive solar, water recycling, and eco-friendly landscaping.
The current approval is for over 55's with each lot size ranging from around 250-400sqm, which is ample for those easy-care properties that downsizer and retirees often favour, without feeling cramped or overcrowded. As the population of Mundaring ages, it's to be expected that many people prefer to remain in their local community but without the burden of caring for the large, rambling properties the area is known for. When the development attracts, because it will, over 55's that still love to spend their days outside with their hands in the earth, there's even the space to include shared common land with multiple different uses, which is something you don't often find down the hill. There are very limited over 55's options currently available, so this one is not to be missed!
With almost half of the Shire of Mundaring being nature reserves and national parkland, it truly is a sought-after region for people of all demographics but particularly retirees and semi-retirees who still love pursuing sports and outdoor activities. Staying active is vital, and Mundaring offers everything from public gardens to wander through, bush trails to cycle on, endless birdwatching and photography opportunities, tennis, swimming, and horse riding, and an array of social clubs and other activities. Once developed, these lifestyle lots or homes will be snapped up quickly.
The demand for this type of product is highlighted by the fact that other sites in and around the area have sold out and there is a current waiting list for retirement home centres like the Yallambee Village in Mundaring and The Darlington Glen.
With this demand there are other possible opportunities for the site other than the current approval, especially for those organisations involved in the aged, dependent living or disability services space. Just use your imagination!

Permanent settlement in Mundaring began in 1882-84 when Mr Peter Gugeri established a vineyard south of the Eastern Railway. The first railway siding at Mundaring was named after him and for some years the area was generally known as "Gugeris". A later settler, M H Jacoby, took over Gugeris' vineyards in 1893, and named the business the "Mundaring Vineyard Company". The name came from an Aboriginal camp situated nearby and the meaning given to Jacoby by the aborigines was "a high place on a high place". The correct pronunciation was "Mundahring" but common usage has gradually converted this to "Mundairing".
Known as the heart of the Perth hills, Mundaring is located on the eastern edge of the Perth Hills. It offers stunning walking and cycling trails, spectacular state forest and national parks and home to the historic Mundaring Weir. Other facilities include two primary schools (Sacred Heart School and Mundaring Primary School) and one secondary school (Mundaring Christian College).
