The Aura difference
Best locations for our communities
We pride ourselves on building high quality apartments and community facilities in highly-sought locations in South East Queensland that lack age-appropriate accommodation.
Being positioned in infill locations with established facilities allows our residents to stay in the community they have lived in and have grown to love.
Simple and transparent fees
We say “no” to complicated hidden fee structures. We believe fees should be both fair and transparent. That’s why we have a straightforward Deferred Management Fee on the exit sale price, so you benefit from the growth in value of your apartment over time.
There is also no stamp duty on the purchase of your apartment.
Personally invested
Aura’s directors Tim Russell and Mark Taylor own and manage our villages with the intention to remain intimately involved in their operation for the long term.
This means you will have peace of mind knowing that you’ll always be in good hands with direct access to the appropriate lines of management, who really do care.
Pet friendly villages
At our retirement villages, we know that pets are more than just animals—they’re beloved companions and cherished members of the family.
That’s why we proudly welcome pets in our communities. We understand the joy, comfort, and companionship they bring, especially during retirement years.
Refundable deposit
When securing your apartment within an Aura village, your only commitment is a $5,000 fully refundable deposit until your settlement day.
Have peace of mind knowing that in the unlikely event your circumstances change, your deposit will be refunded should you not proceed with settlement.
