In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare wrote, “What‟s in a name?” Apart from basic identification purposes, names provide a wealth of information about who we are and where we‟re from. A key to the past, names can reveal what our ancestors did for work, where they lived, where they came from, or what birth order they held in the family line.

The Linton Estate Family history began when Rebecca Tasker married Alexander Maidment Linton in 1890; they had five children Winifred born in 1893, Dorothy in 1895, Bonnie 1897, Lionel 1900 and Reginald in 1903.

They settled in Glenhope on a small farming block west of Kyneton.

Reginald Linton married Lizzie Hamilton and they remained there with their three daughters, Joan, Sylvia and Lorraine. They moved to Malmsbury in 1935 so the children would be closer to schooling. Dorothy and Valerie were born in

THE FIRST PREMIER GLBTIQ

RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY IN The WORLD As everyone is aware from the media, the post-war baby boomers have started to retire.

They are moving from the large cities and opting for Tree Changes & Sea Changes.

With the ageing population on the move to these areas it has raised many issues

requirements. How will they be catered for within these areas? Various stages of their

retirement have to be planned for such as Independent living, hostel & nursing home

care. Plus, within the ageing population there is group of people that, presently, are not

catered for namely the GLBTIQ community. Linton Estate is for GLBTIQ people that are

able to be themselves.

This Residential Village with Aging in Place is giving people another option that presently

have not been offered to this community before. Australia celebrates it‟s diversity of

cultures, religious beliefs. So Linton Estate will continue that celebration. This safe haven

will be tolerant of everyone, so all people are welcome if they respect and accept other

peoples sexual choices, religion, race and colour.

As I approach my 50th Birthday later this year

(2008), there are many thoughts that I reflect

on and many things I am aware I have to

prepare for in the next decade as I

approach retirement. My partner Matt and I,

along with hundreds of thousands of other

Australians, particularly those in the Gay &

Lesbian Community, will be facing the same

dilemma of where we can not just retire

comfortably, but where we feel we can be

with those who are like minded and can live

our lives openly as gay men, with dignity and

respect, and with those who share the same

attitudes and perhaps journey in life. "Linton

Estate" will not be just another Retirement

Village, it will be a safe place where

everyone will be welcome and can live the

autumn years of their life - and it is my

greatest pleasure to support the concept of

Australia's first Retirement Haven for the GLBTI

Community

Linton Estate is a fabulous development and

it will give many people within the GLBTI

community an opportunity to retire and

share a rich lifestyle with like-minded people.

It is classy and unique in that it provides for

21st century needs, catering for couples and

singles in a luxurious, yet homely

environment. This will perfectly suit our needs

and we feel relaxed in the knowledge that

we can continue to lead an exciting lifestyle,

enriched by good company and plenty of

fun!

As a straight couple we are very excited

about this project, it is a wonderful concept

and we are happy that it encourages

everybody to live together and be happy –

no matter what their choice in life is …..a

haven for all. We look forward to spending

time after we finish work with a collective of

people who love life and enjoy their

surroundings and want a quality of life that

they have worked hard for. It‟s all about the

quality of life and the people you surround

yourselves with in your later life. For us this is

perfect.

LEASE HOLD ARRANGEMENT

Residents will acquire a residence right in the form of a long term lease to occupy a home and

use the facilities of the Residential Village in common with other residents for the life of the

resident unless the lease is terminated earlier by the resident or because the resident is no longer

capable of living in the home or is in breach of the rules and regulations of the Village.

Leases will be available for purchase “off the plan” or on completion of the village. If purchasing

off the plan, the purchaser will pay a deposit and enter into an Agreement for Lease with the

operator which commits both parties to enter into a lease of the villa unit which commences on

completion of the Village. In return for the grant of the lease for life, residents will pay:

• an ingoing contribution incorporating non-refundable (lease premium);

• a deferred management fee;

• the usual service charges and contribution to the maintenance of the village.

The lease will set out the obligations of the operator to properly operate the village and provide

the agree services together with the resident‟s obligations in relation to occupancy of the villa

unit and the use of the village facilities.
