Caravan Parks Grant Program
The Australian Government has committed $10 million in grant funding to support upgrades to caravan parks, which play a critical role in delivering accommodation for visitors.
This Program aligns with Austrade’s work on improvements in visitor infrastructure through priorities under The Reimagining the Visitor Economy (THRIVE) 2030 strategy. The $10 million provided for this Program will support upgrades to caravan parks in alignment with Priority 5 of THRIVE.
The objective of the Program is to provide grants up to $100,000 to assist caravan parks to swiftly upgrade or create new infrastructure and visitor facilities to enhance visitor experience, including improvements to accessibility and environmental sustainability practices.
The intended outcomes of the Program are to:
1. Increase the number of visitors seeking caravan park accommodation at a destination.
2. Increase a destination’s attractiveness or capacity to meet visitor needs through new and improved infrastructure and facilities at local caravan parks.
3. Increase the capacity and improve the quality of caravan park infrastructure and facilities for visitors at a destination.
Eligible applicants must be privately owned caravan parks with plans for infrastructure upgrades that align with the Program objectives.
Eligible applicants must hold an Australian Business Number (ABN), be a legal entity that operates a caravan park within Australia with 40 or more powered sites used for short term visitor accommodation, be solvent, have an account with an Australian financial institution that is located within Australian territorial boundaries, and hold public liability insurance and other relevant insurance to cover the project.
