Fleetwood exits RV market, closes NSW plant after 62 years
Original source: The West Australian

In Brief

Fleetwood Limited sells its RV Solutions (Camec) unit and closes its Smithfield plant, fully leaving the industry after 62 years.

Fleetwood Limited (ASX: FWD) has announced a restructuring that includes the sale of its RV Solutions division (Camec brand) and the closure of its Building Solutions manufacturing site in Smithfield, New South Wales. Expected underlying EBIT for FY26 excluding restructuring costs is $35–39 million, with total restructuring costs estimated at $20–24 million, resulting in no final dividend for FY26.

The Smithfield plant closure, scheduled for the first quarter of FY27, will reduce annual fixed costs by $8–9 million. The Perth-founded company said the decision is aimed at focusing on its core modular building business. The deal marks Fleetwood's complete exit from an industry it has been part of for 62 years.

Queanbeyan council reviews parking policy for motorhomes and caravans

Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council (QPRC) in southern NSW has released a draft parking enforcement policy for public consultation. The revised policy introduces a one-hour limit for vehicles longer than 7.5 metres or with a gross vehicle mass over 4.5 tonnes in built-up areas. The council says the provision addresses amenity issues rather than safety. Consultation is open until 8 October.

Queensland Police investigate caravan theft in Emerald

Detectives have released CCTV footage and are seeking public assistance after a caravan was stolen in Emerald earlier this month. Around 11:30pm on Wednesday 2 September, a blue utility attended a vacant block on Ballard Street, where the caravan had been parked for three months and secured with a padlock. The suspects hooked up the 22-foot brown 2020 Leader Gold caravan and drove away; the caravan is unregistered and remains outstanding. Police urge anyone who recognises the blue utility or has information to contact them.
