Linton Court Retirement Village
Our Story
Linton Court is a community-initiated and run charity body. In 1970 local couple Ted & Lydia Linton highlighted to the Foster Rotary Club the need for independent living units designed for & provided to older people in the community on an affordable basis – offering the donation of land they owned in Foster for this purpose.
The Rotary Club took up this initiative and arranged the establishment in 1971 of the Linton Court Elderly Peoples Homes Society Inc. with full charity approvals.
Linton Court has developed greatly from that humble beginning and continues with the same purpose to provide affordable accommodation and facilities that support older people in our community in a manner that ensures the long-term sustainability of the village for future generations.
Linton Court Management
Linton Court is a community-based body and a registered charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC). The Village operates largely through the contribution of volunteers from the local community and maintains a prudent financial approach.
The Retirement Village is overseen by the Linton Court Management Committee.
• Committee members are elected annually.
• The Committee currently comprises approximately 50% village residents and 50% local community representatives.
• Meetings are held on the second Wednesday of each month.
The village residents also have a meeting on the first Wednesday of each month which can raise matters to be considered by the Management Committee.
The Village operates with the assistance of many volunteers who help in all areas of the Village including general maintenance and gardening. A part time Manager is available for general enquiries and to assist the Committee of Management in their operational tasks.
