New members-only park in Qld
Former Bundaberg Showgrounds to be turned into short-term RV parkThe Campervan and Motorhome Club of Australia is set to open another no-frills, members-only RV park at Bundaberg in Queensland.
The Bundaberg Council has given the go-ahead for the development of a ‘tourist park’ for up to 50 self-contained RVs on land at the former Bundaberg Showgrounds.
“CMCA is the largest club of its type in the southern hemisphere and with more than 70,000 members is extremely experienced in facilities of the type proposed for Bundaberg. Use of this facility will be restricted to CMCA members,” Cr Ross Sommerfeld said.
“The site will require minimal development with potable water, electricity, refuse storage and a single dump point among the requirements. All services including the internet are available.
“A lawn locker, a concrete slab and shelter and some signage should complete the infrastructure requirements. An onsite caretaker will be responsible for overseeing the park activities.
“Nearby Saltwater Creek does flood during certain natural events although the itinerant nature of park occupants means that vehicles can exit in a short space of time should an emergency arise,” he said.
“Given that there are flood related issues Council has required the park operators to provide a Flood Evacuation Plan.”
Mayor Jack Dempsey said the new park will boost the Bundaberg Region’s RV-friendly status, following the opening of an overnight park in nearby Childers last year.
“This tourist park appears to be one of the few uses that is an ideal fit with this site,” he said. “The proximity to the CBD and shopping centres will ensure park users can easily access services and support many local businesses.
The CMCA, Australia's largest RV club, has outlined a controversial plan to establish as many as 100 member-only parks around Australia by 2020.
