Performance outcomes
An adequate, safe and reliable supply of potable water is
provided to the camping ground.
The level of traffic generated by the development does not
result in unacceptable impacts on adjacent land uses or
the safety and efficiency of the external road network.
Camping ground access, vehicle parking, queuing
and associated manoeuvring areas are sufficient to
accommodate the expected vehicle traffic in terms
of vehicle types, numbers and frequency without
compromising the safety and efficiency of the internal or
external road network.
Internal road design does not compromise the safety of
park users in the event of an emergency.
The use is provided with a central refuse collection area
to service all accommodation sites.

Acceptable outcomes
The camping ground is connected to the local
reticulated water supply system or has tank water
managed to the standards of the Public Health Act 2005.
Provide traffic impact report that identifies:
(a) the expected traffic movements to be generated
by the facility
(b) any associated impacts on external road networks
(c) any works that will be required to address the
identified impacts.
Vehicular access is limited to one major entry/exit
located on the lowest order road frontage.
Internal roads/areas facilitate unobstructed access to
every site and building by emergency services vehicles.
All refuse stored in weatherproof and securable
receptacles to prevent them from attracting vermin
and wildlife.
On-site manoeuvring provides access to refuse
collection areas and ensures that refuse collection
vehicles can enter and exit the site in forward gear.
PO10
The disposal of effluent does not result in environmental
nuisance or contamination of surface water or
groundwater.
AO10
The site incorporates a dump point for effluent from
caravans, campervans and motorhomes of sufficient
capacity or has toilets available.
Local governments are encouraged to provide a more flexible and less prescriptive approach to working with caravan park
operators to encourage the private sector to meet the needs of the market where the demand is seasonal. This particularly
applies to the level of facilities required under the planning definitions (see Table G.3) and the charges allocated in peak
and off-peak seasons where a park primarily attracts self-contained travellers and operates with a distinct peak season.
Where a park can demonstrate it operates with a clear seasonal peak, local governments could consider a seasonal
fee structure that recognises the use of water, sewer and sullage differs in the seasons and charges could be applied
accordingly. Further, local governments could consider providing caravan parks with the option to close an area
seasonally and not charge fixed provision fees for water, sewer and sullage during dedicated closure periods. The
planning definitions in Table G.3 are suggested for a seasonal caravan park.
