Beachfront Tourist Caravan Parks - Master Plan Concepts
Back
Fraser Coast Regional Council owns 4 beachfront tourist caravan parks on the Esplanade at Pialba, Scarness and Torquay, and at the mouth of the Burrum River at Burrum Heads.
Council is preparing a Master Plan to guide future development and planning for the 4 caravan parks.
To date, the Master Plan concepts have been prepared for the Burrum Heads and Scarness Beachfront caravan parks to specifically:
- Improve safety and comfort of guests
- Replace aging/redundant infrastructure & services
- Improve the design and layout of the parks
- Ensure caravan and camp sites meet modern day site size requirements (from approximately 80m2 to approximately 120m2 per site) for larger RVs and caravans
- Enhance site access to and from adjacent roadways
- Ensure retention of key vegetation in the parks
- Address current encroachments of the caravan park onto foreshore land
Key design principles considered in development of the concepts are:
- A new site office to provide a focal entry point and positive first impression
- Well-appointed and located guest amenities and facilities
- BBQ’s and camp kitchens to provide communal cooking and eating zones
- Landscaping to improve site amenity and enhance security
- Boom gate controls to enter/exit the parks
- Arrival and layup bays for check in with associated off-street visitor parking
- Minimisation of pedestrian and vehicle conflicts
- Development of modern day sites with room for a caravan, annex and towing vehicle.
