OLDER LIVING: The launch of the Ninth Middle Ridge retirement village will be held next week in Toowoomba.

TOOWOOMBA’S newest retirement village, based next to one of the city’s golf club’s will be launched to the public next week.

Aura Holding’s new development, The Ninth Middle Ridge within the Toowoomba Golf Club, will be officially launched on March 4.

The developer said the independent living village, to be built adjacent to the course’s ninth hole, would set a new standard for over 60s on the Darling Downs.

Expressions of interest are now being received for the 85 two, three and four-bedroom apartments.

Aura Holdings director Tim Russell and senior development manager Mike Bauer will provide information on the project and answer any questions at the launch.

Early preparation work has begun, with earthworks to relocate the storage sheds for golf buggies, the relocation of the tenth tee and new carparking.

Major building work will begin in April and construction is expected to be completed by the middle of 2021.

Experienced retirement village builder McNab has been appointed to the project with Cox Architecture.

Mr Russell said the Ninth Middle Ridge would offer residents a maintenance-free lifestyle among like-minded neighbours, featuring a gym, billiards area, wine room, library, craft room, lounge, multipurpose function room, outdoor entertaining and barbecue areas.

“Things are really starting to move now on this much-anticipated project for Toowoomba,’’ he said.

“Both golfers and non-golfers will want to retire to such a beautiful, peaceful and green oasis. It really is a fabulous location to live on the picturesque escarpment of the Great Dividing Range with Toowoomba’s lifestyle benefits and sophisticated facilities nearby.’’

Toowoomba Golf Club general manager David Marr said the development had created an air of excitement among members.

“Already the general conversation around the development is very positive,’’ Mr Marr said. “We feel that the setting and quality of the Aura Holdings’ project very fitting of the demographic of our members.’’
