Luxury Cumberland retirement community launches in Sydney’s southwest

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – Community infrastructure investor, developer and operator Pariter has launched a joint retirement community venture with Cumberland Country Golf Club.

Pariter is a wholly owned business division of Plenary, specialising in the development and operation of community infrastructure.

The $160 million Cumberland project will be the first of its kind in the southwest of Sydney, delivering a unique golf course location and wellness centre for residents. The project is expected to attract strong sales interest in a high-demand area of Sydney.

It will also deliver a major overhaul of the clubhouse and 18-hole course layout, while minimising disruption to current members.

The first 40 homes of the 228-apartment retirement community are now for sale, and will include two and three-bedroom residences, plus larger three-bedroom penthouses.

The luxury wellness facilities will include:

• an indoor heated pool
• a fitness centre
• a salon/barber
• allied health treatment rooms
• an onsite café with golf course views
• an alfresco barbecue area.

The new clubhouse will be rebuilt over three levels, offering modern facilities, including dining for members and residents.

Pariter CEO Tom Roche said the sales launch was an exciting milestone.

“This has been a visionary partnership with the Cumberland Country Golf Club, and we believe that the new community that blends active retirement living with green open spaces, and the social hub of the golf club will be attractive to retirees.

“The Salus Living brand is perfectly aligned with the Club’s values as it delivers an enriched community with a deep sense of connection through physical and emotional health.”

Rhys Morgan, who heads up the sales team on behalf of Salus Cumberland, said it was a unique opportunity for seniors looking for a new, active lifestyle.

“There isn’t a similar residential living option in the region; the offering is unique, and there is a large population of people looking to downsize.

“Projects that are located on golf courses with expansive green views are in high demand, and one in the heart of Sydney is rare, and we are confident there will be strong interest from buyers.”

Cumberland Country Golf Club President Denis Clifford said:

“The sales launch is an important milestone in the process of building a new community for residents and golf members.”

Work is expected to start in mid-2026, with 190 jobs anticipated during construction and 80 ongoing operational positions.
