Elderly Person Units

Council operates 57 one and two bedroom elderly persons units within Latrobe. Council is responsible for the mowing and maintenance of these units.

Tenancy is based on a founder donor contribution, plus a weekly service charge. There is also a second option for tenancy, so as not to discriminate against prospective tenants that can't afford the initial foundor donor outlay. This rental base system incorporates the proportioned founder donor fee; the weekly service charge and a levy.

Control of the units is by a Special Committee of Council, made up of tenants from the units and Council representatives - staff and Councillors. This committee meet when required.

Allocation of units is made from the Register of Interest, offered - in the first instance - to the person/s who has been on the register the longest.

Eligibility
Any person who is an aged person as defined by the Aged Persons Home Act of the Commonwealth of Australia may make application to the Latrobe Council for lease of a unit.
