There is no regulation regarding the number of retirement village or independent living units that
can be provided, and no known advisory level of independent living units relative to residential
aged care accommodation. Additional retirement village or independent living units will generally
be provided based on market assessment by developers. An analysis of potential need for
independent living units was undertaken below and is shown in Table 28.
