Construction has commenced on the fifth stage of Kiama Council’s popular Blue Haven Retirement Village. Stage 5 will see a further 88 Independent Living Units added to the Village. Stage 5 is scheduled for completion by mid-2007.
The modern design of Stage 5 incorporates many features identified by Council’s extensive research and its experience in operating the Village since 1979. This includes a state-of-the-art emergency call system which is monitored on site.
Stage 5 is serviced by two lifts, with one backed-up by an emergency generator. It will also incorporate reticulated gas hot water to every unit and will use rainwater to flush all toilets. The incorporation of an expansive residents' lounge area with a two-storey glass ceiling, in addition to a large observation deck and sky-lounge, will significantly increase the facilities available to all Village residents.
The building contains a range of one, two and three-bedroom designs, with prices starting from $225,000 (average $500,000).
Stage 5 represents a unique opportunity to bypass the usual waiting times at most retirement villages, of between 8 to 10 years and to secure a brand new unit under very convenient settlement terms. All deposits are fully refundable, with $10,000 being required to initially secure the unit and the balance of the usual 10% deposit being required once Council is able to show intending residents the view from their unit, around mid-2006.
To inspect the furnished display unit, or to choose from the good selection of remaining units, please call Mr Steve Dawson on 4233 1714.

Bluehaven Aged Care Facility and Nursing Home are the established services available for residency.
