Lederhosen, laughter and lively music took centre stage when Lincoln Place’s Officer Lifestyle Estate threw open its gates for an Oktoberfest celebration at the weekend.
Residents, their families and friends, and locals from across the region enjoyed an afternoon of Bavarian-themed fun with entertainment, food and community spirit on tap.
From traditional German sausages and pretzels to a lineup of craft beers and lively tunes, the popular over-50s’ community delivered a touch of Germany to Officer – no passport required!
Community Manager, Elle Brown, said Officer Lifestyle Estate was home to a vibrant group of residents and this was showcased at the Oktoberfest celebration.
“Our first Oktoberfest event brought everyone together – residents, families, and the wider Officer community – in the spirit of fun and friendship,’’ Elle said.
“It was a perfect way to experience the energy of our community while enjoying a taste of German culture.’’
More than 150 people attended the event, with live entertainment, food stalls, children’s entertainment and face painting.
Visitors had an opportunity to tour the community, its facilities and new display homes.
Elle said the day added another joyful chapter to Officer Lifestyle Estate’s growing calendar of events and reinforced its reputation as a place where community spirit thrives. “It looks like Oktoberfest will become an annual celebration for residents,’’ she said.
Officer Lifestyle Estate is a masterplanned community in Melbourne’s outer southeast. Operating under a land lease model, the community offers downsizers full ownership of their home and any capital gains, while leasing the land, without stamp duty, body-corporate fees, or council rates. A weekly site rental fee covers maintenance of the community and access to lifestyle amenities.
The final release of homes in this almost sold-out community - priced from $540,000 - are under construction with the first homes move-in ready from November. This is the last chance to secure a new home in the vibrant and friendly estate.
Officer Lifestyle Estate is located at 34 McMullen Road, Officer. To tour the community or for enquiries, call 0455 245 438 or visit lincolnplace.com.au
