Owning a Holiday Van

Owning a holiday van at one of our parks can be a rewarding way to enjoy the coast year-round.

However, it’s important to understand the responsibilities and regulations that come with long-term casual site occupation.

When you own a holiday van at a Wollongong City Tourist Park, the most important thing you need to understand is that you own the holiday van, annex and its associated structures only. You do not own the land it sits on, instead, the land is provided to you under an occupation agreement.

There are several regulations that you must follow as an owner and user of a long term site at any Wollongong City Tourist Park location.

Please see the information below to make sure your holiday van is maintained to the standards required under your occupation agreement.

Want to renovate or extend your van or annex? You’ll need approval from both Park Management and Wollongong City Council.

Holiday Van Standards

We inspect each holiday van annually to ensure it meets what’s required under legislation, as well as the minimum standards outlined in the documents below.

Holiday Van Minimum Standards

Holiday Van, Annex and Associated Structures Standards

If your holiday van is considered to not meet the minimum standards or is in breach of any regulation, you will receive a breach notice requiring you to rectify the breach.

If the breach is not rectified in the required time frames, then a termination notice will be issued, and you will have to remove the van, annex and all associated structures from the site.
