Terms and Conditions 

FY27 Settlement Incentive $3,000 Cash Back Incentive 

Offer period: 17 October 2026 to 31 January 2027 (inclusive)  

1. The Offer 

Lifestyle Communities is offering a $3,000 cash back settlement incentive (the Incentive) to purchasers who meet all the eligibility criteria set out in clause 2. 

2. Eligibility 

1. To qualify for the Incentive, all of the following criteria must be satisfied: the purchaser must pay the initial deposit (‘Confirmation Deposit’) for the home between 17 October 2026 and 31 January 2027 (inclusive). 

2. The home must be located at one of the participating communities listed in clause 3, and purchased from Lifestyle Communities as vendor. Resales — homes sold by an existing homeowner or any other vendor — are not eligible, regardless of whether the home is at in a participating community, or the sale is facilitated by a Lifestyle Communities sales consultant. 

3. The home must be one that Lifestyle Communities has advised will be ready for settlement on or before 30 June 2027. 

4. Settlement must occur in accordance with the Home Purchase Agreement, including payment of the balance of the purchase price and all other amounts payable, on or before 30 June 2027. 

3. Participating communities 

The Incentive is available only on homes purchased at the following Lifestyle Communities locations: 

• Lifestyle Bellarine 

• Lifestyle Deanside 

• Lifestyle Phillip Island 

• Lifestyle Riverfield 

• Lifestyle Ridgelea 

• Lifestyle St Leonards The Shores 

• Lifestyle Woodlea 

Homes purchased at any other Lifestyle Communities are not eligible. 

The home on which the Confirmation Deposit is paid must be at one of the communities listed above, and it must remain at one of those communities through to settlement. If a purchaser pays a Confirmation Deposit on a home at a participating community and then transfers or applies that deposit to a home at any other Lifestyle Communities location not listed above, the Incentive is not payable and any entitlement to it is lost.  

Transferring the deposit to a different home within the same participating community, or to a home at another participating community listed above, does not affect eligibility, provided every other eligibility requirement of these terms continues to be met. 

4. Key dates 

5. Payment of the Incentive 

The Incentive will be paid by electronic funds transfer into the bank account Lifestyle Communities holds on file for the purchaser(s), being the same account from which the weekly site fee (rent) is deducted. It is the purchaser's responsibility to ensure that those account details are current and correct. Lifestyle Communities is not responsible for a payment delayed or misdirected because incorrect or outdated account details were provided. Where an account has not been nominated, or the details are incomplete, the 30-day period for payment of the Incentive does not begin until valid details are supplied. 

6. Conditions and limitations 

The Incentive is not transferable, not negotiable, and cannot be substituted, exchanged or redeemed for any alternative benefit, discount or credit equivalent other than as set out in these terms. 

The Incentive applies only to the approved home and the purchaser(s) named in the Home Purchase Agreement for that property. It cannot be transferred to a subsequent purchaser, or a nomination or assignment of the Home Purchase Agreement to another party. 

One Incentive only is payable per home purchased. Where two people purchase a home jointly, a single Incentive is payable to those joint purchasers. 

If settlement does not occur on or before 30 June 2027 due to the conduct, delay or any other action or inaction by the purchaser  , no Incentive is payable and no part payment or pro rata amount will be made.  If settlement is delayed until after 30 June 2027 for reasons beyond the control of the purchaser, however, Lifestyle Communities may at its sole discretion grant the Incentive consistently with these terms and conditions once settlement occurs. If the Home Purchase Agreement is terminated, rescinded or does not proceed to settlement, or if the purchaser is in default, any entitlement to the Incentive is forfeited.. 

The Incentive does not reduce the purchase price stated in the Home Purchase Agreement and does not vary any other term of that agreement or of the Residential Site Agreement. 

7. General 

Lifestyle Communities may withdraw, extend or vary from this offer at any time before a purchaser has paid a Confirmation Deposit. A withdrawal or variation does not affect the entitlement of a purchaser to an Incentive who has already paid a Confirmation Deposit on an eligible home during the offer period and complies with these Terms and Conditions. 

Any dispute about eligibility or payment should be raised in writing with the sales consultant at the relevant community in the first instance.  Lifestyle Communities' decision on eligibility is final. 

The Incentive is offered on the basis that purchasers obtain their own legal, financial and taxation advice. Lifestyle Communities makes no representation about the treatment of the Incentive for taxation purposes or for the assessment of any Centrelink or other government payment or entitlement. 

Personal information collected in connection with this offer is handled in accordance with the Lifestyle Communities Privacy Policy.  

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Victoria, and nothing in them limits any right a purchaser has under the Australian Consumer Law or the Residential Tenancies Act 1997 (Vic) that cannot lawfully be excluded.
