14B Community arrangements statements
The purpose of a community arrangements statement is to provide information about the services and amenities, and the residential premises, that are provided, or made available, to residents of a retirement village (community arrangements).
A community arrangements statement must —
be in the approved form; and
contain the prescribed information.
The operator of a retirement village must, within 14 days after the day on which the retirement village is established, and within 14 days after the day on which there is any change in the community arrangements of the retirement village, ensure a current community arrangements statement is continuously available to the public —
on a website of the operator or of the retirement village; or
if neither the operator nor the retirement village has a website — in the prescribed way.
Penalty for this subsection: a fine of $20 000.
The operator must give a person the current community arrangements statement in the prescribed way within 7 days after the day on which the person asks for a community arrangements statement.
Penalty for this subsection: a fine of $20 000.
Subsection (4) does not apply if the operator believes on reasonable grounds that the person has not asked for the community arrangements statement for the purpose of considering or deciding whether the person is or might be interested in becoming a resident of the retirement village.
