Ingenia Lifestyle Parkside Lucas has been recognised for excellence in lifestyle living, taking home the award for Best Land Lease Development at the recent 2025 National Retirement Living Awards in Brisbane.

The community will have a total of 250 homes when the development completes in 2027, bringing a variety of contemporary two- and three-bedroom homes to the region.

Spacious and light-filled inside, with generous yards outside, the homes at Parkside Lucas strike the perfect balance for those looking to downsize while still offering enough room for pets to roam and grandchildren to play.

The resort-style landscaping and facilities is an attractive offer for active downsizers. One such facility is the new state-of-the-art community clubhouse precinct with a design that encourages residents to stay active and social, boasting a range of amenities including indoor heated pool, movie theatre, pickleball court, and even a luxurious hair salon.

Whether it’s enjoying a movie in the cinema or cheering on neighbours at the Staff vs Residents Lawn Bowls championships – there’s no shortage of activities on offer at Parkside Lucas.

A full calendar of events such as yoga, movie nights, crafting and weekly happy hour, creates a lively atmosphere at Parkside Lucas.

With the community located a short distance from the centre of town, residents can walk to the local shops or make use of the community e-bikes to stay connected with the beautiful Ballarat region.

This award win is a testament to Ingenia Lifestyle’s commitment to creating vibrant, connected communities where health, wellness and resort-style amenities are right on residents’ doorsteps.
