| Public Caravan Parks must be registered in accordance with the Residential Tenancies (Caravan Parks and Movable Dwellings Registration and Standards) Regulations 1999.
If the Caravan Park also sells Food (e.g. Grocery Items, Milk, Confectionery) then they must also register under the Food Act 1984.
| |
| Registration Fees | | Caravan Parks require renewal of registration on an annual basis and the legislation nominates the fee of $2.50 per site (long term and short term) with no fee payable for unserviced campsites.
Registration needs to be lodged by 15 November in the preceding year.
Transfer of Registration applies to Caravan Parks and is $50.

| Standards for Development | | The Caravan Park legislation specifies standards to be met which relate to the provision of ablution facilities, cleanliness and maintenance of the Park, separation distances and development standards for individual site development and emergency management arrangements.
In relation to site development, Unregisterable Movable Dwelllings (UMDs) and annexes require Council consent prior to erection. Planning Permits may also be required for the “development or works”. Other structural developments at an individual site e.g. fly over caravan or annexe, decking, storage shed etc. also need to be referred to Council for verification in regard to structural design and separation distances. A full copy of the requirements to be met is contained in the above Regulations and Schedule 3 of the Regulations
