If you believe retirement should be filled with purpose, joy, and giving back, then a retirement village or land lease community might be your perfect fit.
At Palm Lake Group, home to over 10,000 residents, the real magic isn’t just in the resort-style amenities and beautiful locations – it’s in the people who make these communities thrive. Every year, residents rally together to host heartwarming events that give back to those in need.
How residents are making a difference
- Palm Lake Resort Tweed River – Residents transformed their country club into London’s Ritz for an art-deco-inspired high tea, raising funds for Tweed Palliative Support and Wedgetail Retreat.
- Palm Lake Resort Waterford – The ‘Toy Boys’ – A group of skilled retirees handcraft wooden toys for underprivileged kids at Christmas. Led by Ray Johnstone, they’ve been donating toys for 15 years, with support from the local Mitre 10 store. The group recently mourned the passing of Jim Blackwood, a beloved founding member who was the heart of the workshop.
- Palm Lake Resort Upper Coomera & Waterford – Residents raised $4,060 for the Jane McGrath Foundation through fun-filled charity events.
- Palm Lake Resort Tea Gardens – Cumquat Jam Crew – A jam-making tradition that turns homegrown fruit into over 200 jars of jam each year! Residents collect, prepare, and cook together – complete with morning tea and celebratory bubbles.
More than just a retirement community
Palm Lake Group residents prove that retirement is anything but boring – it’s about having fun, giving back, and building friendships that last a lifetime.
