Collier Park Village

Collier Park Village (CPV) has been owned and operated by the City for more than 30 years, offering independent living for those aged 55 years and over.

Opened in 1986 as a Council initiative, CPV is situated on Crown Land designated for aged persons homes. 

Currently, CPV is home to 194 residents, offering 169 two-bedroom, one-bathroom self-contained units.

Request for Proposal (RfP) process

At the Ordinary Council Meeting on Tuesday 28 March 2023, Council endorsed the Officer Recommendation to commence a ‘Request for Proposal’ (RfP) process for Collier Park Village (CPV). 

 The City will now invite experienced retirement village operators to present proposals to improve and enhance CPV. The City anticipates that the RfP process will commence in April 2023.  

The RfP process includes safeguards to ensure that residents’ long-term needs are addressed, and that residents’ rights are protected. The City and Council will ensure that any potential new operator shares the City’s vision for CPV. 

Further detail can be found in the City’s media release. Updates will be provided throughout the RfP process. 

 

Collier Park Village (CPV) offers 169 two-bedroom, one-bathroom self-contained units, where village residents enjoy an autonomous lifestyle with the independence to travel as they please and entertain family and friends in their own home.

Pricing & Payments

Pricing

The lease price of each Collier Park Village unit is determined by an independent party, taking into consideration current market trends. Included in the lease price is:

  • A non-refundable contribution to village amenities (lease premium)
  • A five percent non-refundable refurbishment levy, calculated on the total purchase price of the unit.

The balance of the lease price (after the lease premium and refurbishment levy) is retained in a cash-backed resident's reserve, reimbursed when the resident vacates the unit.

If exiting the village after five years of occupancy, an additional levy of one percent per annum for each year (or part thereof) over five years that you have resided at the village (to a maximum of five years) is deducted from the refundable amount.

There is no capital growth applied to the resident's retained monies during the period of occupancy.

Following consultation with residents, a monthly maintenance levy is set annually.

Residents are also required to pay rates (council amenities fee) equivalent to 50 percent of the City of South Perth's minimum property rate.

Payments

The City of South Perth offers a number of convenient and user friendly payment options to Collier Park Village residents and family members. Payments can be made online at no extra cost, in person or by direct debit.

Residents or their family members can pay online for invoices issued by the City for maintenance fees, telephone accounts, rates or other expenses. To pay an invoice you will need your invoice number and details of how much and what you want to pay.

An alternative payment option is provided for Collier Park Village residents, whereby part of the monthly maintenance fee is deducted from their refundable money held by the City. This option reduces the monthly amount the resident needs to pay. Residents can opt in or out of this alternative payment scheme annually.
