Sydney fines 86 euros for parking caravans and boats on public streets

Sydney authorities will fine 86 euros (140 Australian dollars) from late July 2026 for parking caravans and boats on streets without a towing vehicle. The measure applies in five residential areas of Sutherland Shire as a six-month trial. In 2025, the council received over 2,400 complaints about boats and trailers and over 500 about caravans. The aim is to free up space and improve road safety.

Victoria glamping planning dispute prompts calls for regulatory reform

Four luxury safari tents at NRMA Bright Holiday Park must be removed after a five-year planning dispute, as Alpine Shire Council classified them as buildings rather than temporary structures. Each tent cost between A$80,000 and A$100,000 to install, remained unused during the dispute, and will be relocated interstate. Caravan and Residential Parks Victoria (CRPV) said Victoria is the only Australian state without legislated guidance for glamping, causing inconsistent decisions among local councils. The Victorian government is developing updated planning guidance for glamping and other alternative accommodation, expected later this month.

Owners of Lancelin North End Caravan Park in the town of Lancelin, Western Australia, face losing their business due to rapid coastal erosion. Over three years, the sea has washed away more than 30 metres of sand, reaching a crisis point. Locals blame dune mining for accelerating the erosion, which has been ongoing for decades.
