I raised the topic of Lifestyle parks the other day and got some good info via PM , I see on Current Affairs tonite ( in Vic not sure about elsewhere) they are having a segment about people being ripped off in a particular park . Like most of their shows no doubt they will sensationalise the issue , but never the less it might be of interest for some and ammo for naysayers.
Will look at it but the problem with all of this shows they show you what they want and it is often biased. Thanks for the original post it has been interesting to see the opinions. Good luck
Just beware that the regulations vary from state to state. When we did our research we looked at Lifestyle Villages in Victoria, NSW and Qld. We quickly dismissed Victoria and at the time discovered that NSW had the strongest legislation covering Lifestyle Villages. At that time Qld where in the process of adopting the NSW model and I believe that's been done with some differences.
When we where in WA on a trip in 2014 my sister was looking into Lifestyle Villages in WA. I looked into it a bit for her but advised her against it at the time because like Victoria, WA's Lifestyle Villages came under regulations of a caravan park. Things may have changed since then.

Nothing much in the way of meat. Just one resident trying to sell his house who had problems with the management. As usual the other side did not get as chance to reply. The complainant claims he had been living there for 40 years but his house looked like it was not that old. If he had been around that long his site agreement would have predated any residential park legislation.
I also see some homes are being sold with prices like "$320,000 or $256,000 using 80% shared equity." I don't know if the complainant was tied up with something like that.

If the ACA bit was the result of poor legislation then it is a good example of reviewing the legislation governing your intended location before signing on the dotted line.
