Activity
LIFE AT THE OUTLOOK
Life at The Outlook at Albany is great. It’s so much
more than a superb, multi-million-dollar Clubhouse,
bowls and heated indoor pool set on a beautiful,
nature packed 45 acre village. It’s even more
than our comfortable low maintenance homes at
fantastic prices. It’s still more than a huge Workshop
for woodwork, metalwork and pottery. Parking for
boats and vans also make the lock, leave and travel
lifestyle so convenient. You don’t need to take a
plane or cruise to remote locations to enjoy world-
class beaches. The Outlook at Albany is surrounded
by spectacular beaches and coastal scenery right
here on the amazing South Coast which can be
easily reached in just 10 minutes. Wilderness,
beaches and awe-inspiring scenery, such as Betty’s
Beach (pictured) are easily within 30 minutes. What
are you waiting for – plunge right in!

Residents
MEET DAVID & SHELLEY
“We had a very large house in Kelmscott with lots of
expensive maintenance issues and over 1/3 acre of
gardens. We were getting older, experienced some
illness and simply couldn’t keep up the house and
gardens. The summer heat in Perth was unbearable.
Our long term plan to come to Albany and more
recently to an NLV village, was finally within sight as
David retired. We visited The Outlook at Albany, saw
the lakeside lots and decided there and then. Now,
we’re right opposite Oyster Lake within the village.
It is a most beautiful view. We just cannot believe
it. We keep pinching ourselves to believe that we’re
actually here. We also love the community aspect
of it as well. In an emergency, we can call on other
residents or help in turn. We can socialise as much
as we want in the new Clubhouse or be private if we
want. We also go on holidays and know somebody
will keep an eye on things for us. The space, nature
and climate suit us perfectly.”

CONSTRUCTION Update
You may notice something different out the front of the
village shortly, the Entry Statement is soon to be updated
with our spectacular new branding for The Outlook at

Five new homes are also about to start being built on

of manufacturing offsite followed by transportation and
installation. The City of Albany is supportive of location
construction with aims including reduced build times,
improve efficiencies and to employment creation in
Albany.
The Building License has been submitted for the Caravan
