Sales of Edward River Village Properties Paused for Review

Published on 29 November 2024

Edward River Council has announced a temporary pause on sales of Edward River Village properties. This decision allows Council to undertake a thorough review and explore all available options for the Village moving forward.

Edward River Village is an independent senior living project located in central Deniliquin, expected to consist of 32 home retirement homes in a village setting on completion. Stage 1 of the development, consisting of six homes, was completed earlier in 2024.

As part of the review, Council will engage in discussions with other retirement village operators and investigate alternative operational models for retirement villages.

Additionally, the Council will explore different funding models regarding fees for retirement village living.

A detailed report on these investigations will be presented at a Council meeting for consideration in early 2025.

Mayor of Edward River Council, Cr Ashley Hall stated, “This pause is a proactive step to ensure we are making the best decisions for our community. By exploring all options and models, we aim to ensure that Edward River Village provides what it set out to deliver – a secure, low-maintenance and welcoming community for seniors.”
