AFFORDABLE RENTALS FOR AGED PENSIONERS

Building commenced at Talbot Estate in the early 1960s to provide rental housing for aged pensioners with one bedroom cottages for couples and one bedroom units for single pensioners. Today the estate houses a total of 77 cottages and units housing approximately one hundred residents.

Talbot Estate Inc provides rental housing for local aged pensioners capable of independent living, with each cottage or unit having its own fully fenced yard allowing the resident to establish and maintain the garden with no water bills to pay.

Community

The estate also has a community hall for use by the residents. Activities including morning tea gatherings, indoor bowls, craft sessions and hairdresser visits on a regular basis are organised and coordinated by residents. A library also operates from the hall allowing residents to borrow books and DVDs.

The estate grounds include Tom Wyatt Parkland along Lion Creek. The parkland offers an additional recreation space for residents with the area being partially serviced by concrete paths, a gazebo, seating and barbecue which is available for use by residents. A fruit orchard and community garden are added attractions being developed in the parkland.
