In Brief

A Rhode Island committee discusses converting eight Fort Getty RV sites to weekly rentals from 2027, while a new RV and caravan park is planned near Gympie, Australia, with construction starting mid-2026.

Fort Getty, Rhode Island

Planning committee member Bill Salmons proposed converting eight of 75 seasonal RV sites at Fort Getty into weekly rentals starting in 2027. Priority will be given to Jamestown residents and their guests.

The plan also includes upgrading 50 sites and raising the annual fee to $7,000. A lottery system for site allocation is planned by 2028. Seventeen unimproved sites would be eliminated for green space.

Gympie, Queensland

In Australia, a new RV and caravan park will be built near the historic Gympie station. The $200,000 project includes eight powered sites with water and electricity. Construction is set to begin in mid-2026 and finish by early 2027.
