The Shire of Ashburton Council has anounced the progression of a long-awaited project that looks set to greatly contribute to the local visitor economy and the community as a whole.
The Council says the Ocean View Caravan Park (Phase 3) and ANZAC Park extension in Onslow are moving forward, following the recent tender awarded for construction at Octobers Ordinary Council Meeting.
“These enhancements will offer improved amenities, recreational spaces and expanded caravan park facilities, creating significant benefits for both residents and tourists. This development strengthens the Shire’s commitment to boosting tourism, attracting more visitors to the region and ensuring that Onslow continues to thrive as a key destination within the Shire and Pilbara region,” Council said in a statement.
Awarding the tender will enable Onslow to accommodate more visitors, especially in anticipation of its signature events, such as the annual Passion of the Pilbara and the Staircase to the Moon festival. The popular events are major drawcards for the town, and the new facilities will ensure Onslow is well-prepared to welcome an increasing number of attendees, the Council said.
“The project’s importance lies in its ability to enhance Onslow’s infrastructure, contributing directly to the Shire’s visitor economy by providing high-quality accommodations and public spaces,” it said.
