The ribbon was cut, champagne corks popped and the club house at The Botanic retirement village in Silverdale was officially open.

The opening ceremony took place on Thursday, October 5 with the ribbon cut by local MP Mark Mitchell and a director of the Botanic, Wayne Wright.

Around 200 people attended the event.

The facility has a large dining area and outdoor barbeque space, and looks out onto a three rink bowling green. 

The Wellness Centre is also now operational and includes a 20m lap pool, spa, sauna, gym and fitness room.

Currently the village is home to almost 100 retirees, and more are expected to movie in before Christmas.
