Fraser Coast Beachfront Caravan Parks Redevelopment

Project Overview

Fraser Coast Regional Council owns four caravan parks along the beachfront in Hervey Bay.

These caravan parks have been in operation for many years. Facilities and infrastructure in the parks are all in need of refurbishment to meet current caravan park standards. In addition, van sites encroach onto the foreshore and no longer meet the demands of the market. The internal roadways are narrow, making it difficult to manoeuvre the average vehicles and caravans.

Council has embarked on a planned refurbishment program for Scarness and Burrum Heads, and has now completed the master planning process for Torquay and Pialba.

Scarness caravan park redevelopment completed

The Scarness caravan park redevelopment is complete, with the park now fully reopened to guests.

Burrum Heads Caravan Parks works to commence on roads and on site.

The first stage of the major works between Burrum and Howard Streets will commence in  March 2024, and continue throughout the year.  The second stage of the redevelopment of the Burrum Heads Caravan Park inside the property boundary between the Burrum River and Burrum Street will continue in 2025.
