Stage 4 and Community Centre Construction Update
Jenna Gillott • July 13, 2021
How lucky are we to live in Lake Macquarie!
Our Stage 4 construction is due for completion in August along with our Community Centre. We cannot wait to show you!
The furniture has started to be delivered for our community centre with a mix of beautiful tones. As well as ordering a defibrillator to be installed.
We have four out of twelve homes still available with a mix of two and three bedroom North Facing homes.
We have been lucky to be able to continue construction during these hard times of COVID19.
Lake Macquarie, Newcastle and the Lower Hunter remain incredibly lucky - no community transmission for 340 days.
Our main priority is keeping our Village safe during these hard times.
We are open for walkthroughs if you would like to contact our sales office on (02) 4959 3963
Residents have been looking forward to the arrive of their community centre with great anticipation.
Last month seen our 10 new homes finalised and ready for move in as apart of our Stage 3 development here at Elements of Toronto. Our Toronto Golf Club staff completed the landscaping which we think looks absolutely fabulous and can not thank them enough for. . The Residents in Stage 3 have now completed their first month in their new homes and so far, no complaints - which is always nice! We have furnished Unit 28 (still available to purchase). Mode Styling was hired to complete a full furnish to show what a completed home could look like. As we know from our own personal experiences, looking into a blank home can be hard to picture what you will put where. Feel free to pop in and see us in the Toronto Workers Club Reception to take a walk through Unit 28 and also our 5 available homes.
July 2020 shows 10 units added to our Village. Within these 10 homes, we have started to welcome the new Residents this week. Our first Residents have collect their keys and are settling in well. Be quick as we have limited number of two bedroom homes available in this Stage.
Our new benches offer not just a nice place to sit. Did you know that sitting under a tree according to health experts provides us with a boost to our well-being? Many studies have been carried out to examine how spending time outdoors has an overall positive effect on our health and well-being. The recent installation of our beautiful benches positioned directly under large canopy trees have been designed to inspire our residents to spend time outdoors. Our research led to some interesting facts about time outdoors. When we spend time sitting under a tree we breathe in the chemicals trees release that can boost our immune system. These special naturally occurring chemicals boost the body’s production of a specific white blood cell that helps fight off viruses. Tree gazing also lowers blood pressure and can boost our moods. As our community garden is at last finished and our new benches installed we hope these outdoor facilities will inspire our residents to enjoy the benefits of time outside with nature.
One of our favourite activities at Elements is to enjoy a coffee from the Indulge Café at Toronto Workers Club with one of the house made goodies. In late February the in house pastry chef made special “Elements” cookies for staff and residents to enjoy. Our Village Manager Jenna sat down with our Ambassador Mike Rabbitt to discuss the newly opened Stage 2 and enjoyed a cuppa and a cookie. At the moment café staff are staying home and staying safe. Jenna is still working to keep Elements running making changes to the way she operates to work in with social distancing and keeping herself and residents safe. Connecting over the phone, via email and through zoom conferencing is something we are all learning to accept. But nothing compares to the face to face connection we take for granted. Elements remains open for sales enquiries and to take care of our incoming residents and our residents but we look forward to resuming our coffee and cake soon. Our residents receive a free coffee and cake from the café on their birthday and we hope to have one big birthday celebration with everyone as soon as the doors reopen.
