Scarness caravan park redevelopment completed

The Scarness caravan park redevelopment is complete, with the park now fully reopened to guests.

Fraser Coast Regional Councillor Denis Chapman said the Scarness caravan park redevelopment had been completed in stages, with the western end reopened in December 2023 before work moved on to the eastern end this year.

“The existing infrastructure in the park was aging and needed upgrading to suit modern vans, especially RVs,” he said.

“Improvements have included new internal roads, underground power, upgraded water and sewerage systems, new toilets, camp kitchens, and a new manager’s office and residence.

“The redevelopment has resulted in a more modern caravan park tailored to the needs of today’s tourists.”

Cr Chapman said work was also progressing on the redevelopment of the Burrum Heads caravan park.

“The first stage of the Burrum Heads caravan park redevelopment is expected to be completed early next year, with the entire project set to finish by August 2025, weather permitting,” he said.

“A key focus for Council is to plan for the future, and to effectively manage and maintain our assets, and these projects are an example of how we are working to achieve that for our community.”
