Fraser Coast Beachfront Caravan Parks Redevelopment

Further options are under consideration for the entry to the Fraser Coast Regional Council’s beachfront tourist park at Burrum Heads as part of the Master Planning process.

“Additional options for the entry are being considered and we are seeking feedback on these suggestions from the local community,” Cr Jade Wellings said.

The current adopted Master Plan allows for the entry to the park to be via Burrum Street, with the office and manager’s residence located on the southern side of Burrum Street near the entrance. This plan would continue to have cars and caravans pass the shops on Burrum Street to enter into the park.

Additional Option 1 suggests caravanners approach the park via Ross Street into Burrum Street and then into the caravan park. The office and manager’s residence will remain as proposed in the Master Plan and waiting space for three caravans will be located inside the caravan park for guests as they check in.

Additional Option 2 suggests caravanners approach the park via Ross Street into Howard Street and then into the caravan park via the cul-de-sac at the south. It also relocates the office and manager’s residence to the southern end of the park near the Howard Street entrance.

To find out more and ‘have your say’, log on to the Council Engagement Hub, go to the Beachfront Carava Parks Redevelopment page and complete the online survey.

The survey closes on Sunday 12 June 2022 at 11:55pm.

Cr Wellings said master plans had been developed for Council’s four beachfront caravan parks to ensure the parks were commercially viable and met current standards and visitor expectations.

“The existing infrastructure in the parks is aging and needs replacing, with the parks needing to be upgraded to suit modern vans, including RVs,” she said.

The outcomes of this consultation will guide the Burrum Heads Beachfront Tourist Park Redevelopment to deliver the best outcomes for guests and the community into the future.
