You need to know the address for service of a retirement village. This address is the one listed in the register under Schedule 1. You can find the register at the link to Schedule 1. When a retirement village gives an address for service, it cannot be a postal centre or document exchange. The people running the village can change this address at any time. They must tell the Registrar about the change. The change of address takes effect on a date stated in the notice. This date cannot be earlier than 5 working days after the notice is registered. The notice must be in a special form.
