Quick facts

About The Palms

The Palms runs two communities across New South Wales, and both are built around independent living. You can choose between relocatable homes and independent living homes, depending on the community. Each gives you your own front door, with neighbours and shared spaces close by, and the freedom to live life on your own terms. If you are weighing up a move, it helps to think about how close you want to be to family, friends and the places you already know.

Residents own their home and lease the land. The Palms looks after the community lawns, gardens and shared amenities, so your time stays free for friends, hobbies and travel. At The Bay Village Estate, garbage, recycling and green waste collection come at no extra cost, which takes another job off your list. Amenities and activities vary by community, so each place has its own social rhythm. For many downsizers, handing over the upkeep of shared grounds is one of the main attractions of this style of living, so it is worth asking exactly what is covered at the community you are considering.

The Palms Village is a registered business name of Champion Properties The Palms Village Pty Limited, an Australian private company. The Palms Village has been the registered business name since March 2026.

Costs & fees

For a current price, call The Palms directly on 07 5524 2682 or enquire through the listing for the community you're interested in. Because pricing is not set out on this page, asking for the figures in writing gives you something concrete to compare. When you call or enquire, it is worth asking what you pay upfront, what you pay on an ongoing basis and what happens to those costs when you eventually leave.

It also helps to think about your own budget before you call. Work out what you expect to receive from selling your current home, what you want to keep in reserve and how the costs of a community compare with what you spend now. That way you can judge an offer against your own circumstances rather than in isolation.

Care & lifestyle services

The Palms is built for independent living, so you keep your own home, your routines and your neighbours. At The Bay Village Estate, residents have access to health and well-being services such as Home Care and Meals on Wheels. That helps you stay independent in your own home for longer. Thinking through how your needs might change over the coming years makes it easier to judge which services matter most to you, and which questions to put to each community. At The Bay Village Estate, regular information sessions from external parties cover health, safety and general interests.

No community has serviced apartments or on-site aged care. If you think you may need care in future, it is sensible to plan with your family or adviser what you would do, because that support is not provided on site.

Shared facilities include swimming pools, barbecue areas, a library and a snooker table, giving you plenty of ways to meet neighbours. A clubhouse or recreation hall gives you a place to gather. The mix varies by community. Ask to see the facilities at the community you are considering, and think about whether you would use them regularly.

What makes The Palms different

The Palms gives you a choice of two locations in New South Wales, each with its own setting, facilities and style of home. You can pick the community that fits how you want to live and sits closest to family and friends. Both have an on-site hairdresser, so everyday appointments stay close to home.

The Palms is a registered Australian business with a phone line you can call directly on 07 5524 2682. Both communities are independent living, so the whole network is set up around residents who manage their own days.
