Will the minister explain to the Parliament why National Lifestyle Villages Pty Ltd, a company that sells prefabricated homes sited on land zoned under the Caravan Parks and Camping Grounds Act 1995, has been allowed to erect prefabricated homes on its sites that do not meet the definition of a park home, as defined by section 5 of the act as “a vehicle of a prescribed class or description that is fitted or designed for habitation” and that is also “capable of being propelled or drawn on wheels”?

On behalf of the minister representing the Minister for Local Government and Regional Development, I thank Hon Anthony Fels for some notice of the question. Under the Caravan Parks and Camping Grounds Regulations 1997, a caravan or a park home is permitted on a site within a caravan park. A class 10a building is also permitted on a site for use by the occupants of that site. This includes buildings such as garages, carports, sheds, patios, pergolas and the like. However, on the grounds of the caravan park, but not on a site, other types of buildings are permitted, including a manager’s house, an office, a restaurant, a shop, recreational buildings or any other building as approved by the relevant local government; for instance, chalets or transportable dwellings. The Caravan Parks and Camping Grounds Act 1995 provides that local governments are to inspect caravan facilities within their districts at least every 12 months to ensure compliance. Local governments may serve infringement notices and works notices to licence holders for non-compliance. Accordingly, the member should refer details of the above matter to the relevant local government to investigate.
