Sir Zelman and Lady Cowan Retirement Village

Sir Zelman and Lady Cowan Retirement Village in Dianella is a Jewish community retirement village named for Sir Zelman Cowan, the distinguished Jewish-Australian jurist and Governor-General of Australia (1977–1982), providing a culturally and spiritually appropriate retirement community for Jewish older adults in Perth's north-eastern suburbs. The village maintains Jewish cultural traditions, kosher catering options, Jewish holiday observances, and the pastoral and cultural connections important to Jewish community life, providing a home-like Jewish community environment in Perth's established northern suburbs. Dianella's proximity to Perth's Jewish community's established institutions, schools, and the Dianella Lake provides a well-connected setting for this culturally specific retirement community.
