How much are the site fees?
Sites fees vary, however, they start at $218 per week and are paid fortnightly.

As of June 2021, the maximum fortnightly Commonwealth Rent Assistance payment was $140.80 a fortnight.

Lighting up Stratford Gardens 🎄✨

The celebrations continued with a Christmas market created by residents, for residents, full of festive finds, friendly faces and plenty of holiday cheer.
We welcomed our new Stage 2 residents with a festive Christmas get-together filled with warm hellos, good cheer and easy conversation. A lovely way to celebrate new neighbours and the growing Stratford Gardens community.
