Award nomination for the Vision Vision by Halcyon is looking to emulate its award winning sister communities after being nominated and judged for both Marketing Excellence and Seniors Living for the Queensland Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) Awards for Excellence 2016.

Previously Halcyon communities have won a suite of awards for Affordable Living, Environmental Initiatives

and Australia’s Best Seniors’ Living 2009 (Halcyon Waters) and 2014 (Halcyon Landing).

Home owners and staff alike are proud to be recognised as one of the best over 50’s in Australia, keeping their fingers crossed until the winners are announced on 4 November and an opportunity to compete for the crown of Australia’s Best.

Never a dull moment At just 88 homes, Vision by Halcyon is the smallest Halcyon community in terms of number of homes but that doesn’t mean there is any shortage of special interest activities weaving their way into the fabric of this active, close - knit community.

Recently a production crew visited Hope Island to shoot a segment for channel 7’s ‘Best Houses Australia’ programme. The host of the show interviewed home owners and Halcyon Joint Managing Director Dr Bevan Geissmann to gain insight on Halcyon’s unique over 50’s living model, shooting scenes in the homes and inside the Lifestyle and Aquatic Precinct. Add Friday 23 September at 10:30pm to your calendar and tune the telly into 7TWO to check it out or “record” the segment. If you miss it don’t panic, we’ll upload the footage to the website lifebeginsathalcyon.com.au.

From cards, Tai Chi, Snooker and Bocce to walking groups, fishing competitions and golf days; the home owners are keen to show their skills or try something completely different.

The home owners are busy coordinating events both in and outside the community with the assistance of Community Manager Kathy Wone. So far they have organised Thai cooking classes and the forth coming ‘Spring Dance’ to be performed live in the Leisure Centre on 24 September by 14 twinkle-toed home owners who have been taking lessons in preparation for

the big event. With the weather warming up, the community boats are starting to see a lot more action with outings on the Broadwater planned while the eagerly awaited Work Shed opens its doors in October to the delight of many.

Atria I with landscape

Last chance to live in a new home at Australia’s most exclusive over 50’s waterfront community This quite simply is, your last opportunity to snare a slice of island paradise before it’s too late!

It’s the perfect time and the perfect place to start living the life you’ve always dreamt of. Vision by Halcyon is now a thriving community with all it’s 5-Star facilities in full swing so there has never been a better time to make the move.

There is a choice of home designs still available including the popular Atria with its impressive openplan design. It’s all about downsizing without cutting corners… the spacious main living area and master

suite open out onto a private covered pavilion and outdoor living space that’s ideal for quiet contemplation or entertaining.

The clever design ensures a practical separation of the generous master bedroom and the guest suite, allowing for privacy while a separate multi-purpose room means even more options for everyday living.

Seize the moment, call the Sales Centre on 1800 831 567 to find out more about the last remaining homes at Vision by Halcyon.
