[QUOTE="loamer, post: 94652, member: 981"] Welshmans Reef Caravan Park at Cairn Curran is reportedly closing - reported in Tarrengower Times due to compliance laws - chiefly the Safe Water Drinking Act and the compulsory CFA upgrades and access. Tarnagulla Caravan Park closed for these reasons as well. Laanecoorie Lakeside is facing the same issues but is going to spend up to $200,000 to comply. Some parks have spent up to $395,000. They are compliant on everything else. These new CFA laws mean install fire hoses so they can reach any site, no longer than 36 metres, water tanks, static tanks, generators etc etc. There are a host of other rules - ALL electrical appliances must be tested, sheds moved, fences to come down etc etc. Mate showed me the compliance list that the camp caravan/cabin owners have to adhere to - bloody hell - its amazing. But still - nice place, prospector friendly. So, guess what this all means? They will probably pass the cost on - they certainly are to caravan/cabin owners. These are well used places by prospectors and Laanecoorie is the home of the annual gold bash. [/QUOTE]
