In Brief

Two dozen long-term residents of the Rose Gardens (Acclaim Rose Gardens) caravan park in Albany, Western Australia, were evicted after the property was sold in early 2025. The new owner, RAC Tourism Assets, offered payments up to 25,000 Australian dollars, but some tenants, including a cancer patient, lost their homes.

Two dozen long-term residents of the Rose Gardens (also referred to as Acclaim Rose Gardens) caravan park in Albany, Western Australia, were evicted after the property was sold to a new owner in early 2025. The new owner, RAC Tourism Assets, purchased the land from the state government on a freehold basis.

Residents were offered lump-sum payments of up to 25,000 Australian dollars. However, some, including a tenant with cancer, were left without permanent housing. Most tenants were on month-to-month leases, which under the current Residential Parks Act 2006 did not protect them from eviction when the landowner changed.

Changes for long-term caravan park residents

A new law has been introduced in Tasmania to strengthen protections for long-term caravan park residents following the Beauty Point Tourist Park incident. The reforms include secure occupancy, 24-hour access to essential facilities, a ban on unfair fees, and a bond cap of four weeks' rent. The Tasmanian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (TASCAT) has been granted enhanced powers to resolve disputes more quickly.

Caravan park residents' rights bill moves closer to becoming law

A bill to establish the rights and obligations of long-term caravan park residents and park owners has passed the lower house of Tasmania's Parliament. The state was the only one in Australia where such residents lacked protections equivalent to residential tenants regarding rent increases, bonds, and evictions. The legislation follows a protracted conflict at one park and extensive consultation that generated 58 submissions.

Caravan park residents face eviction in Melbourne

Over 30 residents of the Five Ways Caravan Park in Melbourne's south-east must vacate by August 25 due to site redevelopment. Victoria's Department of Families, Fairness and Housing and Kingston City Council are providing support, including housing options and removalist funding. The owner has submitted a planning application for a residential village with 56 moveable dwellings and a two-storey communal building with 5 apartments.

Four new Tiny Houses with vineyard views have arrived in Coonawarra

Coonawarra Bush Holiday Park in South Australia has added four new Tiny Houses, including two single-storey and two double-storey units. Perched on a hill, they offer views of vineyards and bushland. Each includes a queen bed, kitchenette, bathroom, air conditioning, and a private fire drum. The park also offers glamping tents, cabins, caravan sites, and camping.

Electric camper and round-Australia trip

Clive Attwater and his partner Sue have embarked on a round-Australia trip in an electric camper based on the Farizon SV van. The couple plans to follow a figure-eight route starting from Hobart, passing through Victoria, South Australia, Alice Springs, Darwin, Western Australia, the Nullarbor, Townsville, and the east coast. The camper is equipped with solar panels, a domestic battery, and a fully electric kitchen. The trip aims to demonstrate the feasibility of long-distance electric travel and to inform campground operators about preparing for electric vehicle charging. The cargo van costs between €43,000 and €49,000, with conversion adding €18,000 to €30,500.

Toyota Land Cruiser 78 becomes camper for 5,499 AUD — Summit Vans drops pop-top

Australian builder Summit Vans has introduced a conversion kit for the Toyota Land Cruiser 78 Troop Carrier that does not require a pop-top roof. The base furniture kit costs 5,499 AUD and excludes a fridge, battery, water system and installation. The module includes an L-shaped bench that converts into a 1,910x965 mm bed and a bamboo worktop. Factory assembly in Wollongong starts at 8,499 AUD, with a production lead time of three to four weeks. The vehicle is cramped for full-time living: standing height is not possible inside, and the bed is mainly for one person. However, it retains standard height and can still be used as a regular off-roader between trips.
