Low-cost housing at stake: will a $7m upgrade save Windang caravan park?

The Oasis Caravan Park in Windang, which has operated without council approval for decades, has submitted a new development application for a $7 million upgrade and continued operation. Its previous consent lapsed in 2006, and at least five prior applications were rejected due to unresolved safety concerns. The current application, filed by a court-appointed administrator, proposes reducing the number of sites from 64 to 55 permanent spaces to meet building separation and parking requirements. The application is on public exhibition until June 24.

Your Questions Answered: Can I tow a caravan without huge fuel bills?

In this week's Q&A, experts address three reader queries. The first concerns choosing a fuel-efficient tow vehicle for a caravan up to 2000 kg with a budget under $60,000; recommendations include hybrid or petrol medium/large SUVs like the Toyota Kluger or Subaru Outback. The second question is about replacing the 12-volt battery in a BYD Dolphin; it's advised to have it checked and consider an AGM replacement if needed. The third asks about small SUVs with manual transmission; available options are the Hyundai Venue and Renault Duster.
