Lifestyle Brookfield milestone marked

Cake, bouquets, live music, and a buffet lunch were enjoyed by about 150 homeowners of Lifestyle Communities Brookfield to mark its 20th anniversary.

Hosted by the Brookfield Homeowners Committee, Social Committee, and the Lifestyle Communities organisation on Monday 20 October, the event honoured 20 years since its clubhouse opened – a space with a range of resort-style amenities including a gym, indoor heated pool and spa, bowling green, billiards room, library, and outdoor entertaining area.

Two residents who have lived at Lifestyle Brookfield for the whole 20 years – Jean Clarke, 102,  and Sylvia Whitehead, 87, received certificates and a bouquet of Singapore orchids each at the event.

Homeowners Committee vice president Teresa Butcher said “All the feedback has been very positive … we’ve had nothing but congratulations from the homeowners on the event. They said it was fantastic.”

“It was something that needed to be done, it needed to be organised … because we’ve got a change in management, it was better that we did it and it didn’t get overlooked,” she said.

The event also involved speeches and  a sit down buffet lunch with champagne.

According to Lifestyle Communities, the clubhouse at Brookfield is much-loved by residents and is its “beating heart” – with homeowners enjoying activities including swimming, socialising, enjoying long lunches, and playing bowls.

Brookfield set the standard for every community that followed,” said Simone de la Harpe, executive general manager-experience at Lifestyle Communities.

“It’s where our journey began, and it continues to embody everything Lifestyle Communities stands for — belonging, connection, and a better way to live.”

There are currently 292 homeowners living within 231 homes, and a small number of homes are available from $369,000 for those looking to join this vibrant community.
