Temporary Accommodation

On the 1st of September 2024 the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries introduced reforms for the Caravan Parks and Camping Grounds Regulations 1997. The reforms aim to create a streamlined application process for individuals seeking temporary accommodation approvals.

The reforms provided local governments with the opportunity to-

  • Approve camping applications on private property or property other than a caravan park for up to 24 months
  • Extend existing approvals
  • Revoke approvals if there is a failure to comply with conditions

The Temporary Accommodation Guidelines (Guidelines) have been established and endorsed via POL 0090:Temporary Accommodation, to ensure a consistent and transparent process when issuing approvals for temporary accommodation. It is important to read through and understand the Policy and Guidelines prior to submitting your application.
