Foreword Camping is synonymous with the Australian way of life, and has been for decades. Whether it’s the opportunity to enjoy vast open spaces, our world-class beaches and national parks, or explore our unique communities, a Queensland camping holiday is top of the list for many domestic and international travellers. The camping industry has evolved significantly over the past decade. The Queensland drive tourism strategy 2013–2015 provided an opportunity to review approaches to camping across Queensland and ensure we are well positioned to capitalise on potential growth in this market. Doing so requires a clear understanding of the needs of all stakeholders and ensuring Queensland offers a range of camping options to attract visitors regardless of their accommodation preferences. Growth in the camping sector will play a key role in helping the industry to achieve its goal of doubling overnight visitor expenditure from $15 billion to $30 billion per annum by 2020. This toolkit is a major milestone for camping in Queensland. It has been developed to assist local governments determine their approach to camping options—one which reflects their own unique circumstances and community aspirations. This results in ‘local solutions to local problems’. Release of this toolkit represents the culmination of 18 months of industry engagement and work to come up with industry-supported solutions to address camping issues. The toolkit has been developed closely with local government and I wish to thank the Local Government Association of Queensland for their assistance. I particularly would also like to thank members of the Camping Options Reference Group for their valuable contributions to the project. It is now up to local governments to take this forward. The toolkit provides a great platform from which local governments can formalise their own approach to camping and collectively ‘grow the pie’ to the benefit of regional towns and communities right across Queensland.
