The Tree Change You Have Been Looking For

For many Aussies over 50 a treechange is an exciting next chapter in life, but many aren’t sure what their next steps are in order to achieve this dream. The thought of a slower pace of life, financial freedom, living amongst nature, and becoming part of community living may sound too good to be true but the land lease living model makes your treechange dream an affordable option.

Discovering Toowoomba

Cue Toowoomba! Striking the perfect balance between country living with access to modern amenities, local shops, and essential services. It is hard to believe Toowoomba is only a 90-minute drive from Brisbane, be prepared to be transported to a world of colour as you travel through the countryside and experience the ever-changing colourful façade all year round. Fittingly named Queensland’s Garden City, Toowoomba is surrounded by over 150 gardens and is home to the annual Carnival of Flowers.

Surrounded by National parks and lakes, staying active and enjoying the outdoors is easy with never ending options of how to spend your days. Pack a lunch to enjoy at Picnic Point Parklands, hike to the top of Table Top Mountain for breathtaking views over Lockyer Valley, or simply spend the day on the lake.

Toowoomba is also home to a thriving culinary culture. As a local the fresh produce is at your fingertips with the well-established food culture hosting a plethora of cafes, bakeries, and restaurants. Steeped in rich historical architecture, the city’s centre is home to many beautiful art deco buildings, interactive museums and an art scene that showcases Toowoomba’s heart and soul across the walls adorning the streets.
