Successful tenderers for the lease of Loch Sport and Woodside Beach caravan parks have been announced by Wellington Shire Council following an open-market tender process.
Council engaged an independent caravan park management company to coordinate the public tender process. As land manager for several caravan parks located on Crown Land, Council oversees commercial leases on behalf of the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA).
The Loch Sport Holiday Park, located on Charlies Street in Loch Sport will be operated by current leaseholders Ray and Belinda Johnson, and Woodside Beach Caravan Park, located in the heart of Woodside Beach will be operated by Deersford Pty Ltd, and managed by Steven Priest.
“We’ve had some legacy issues in the past, but I can assure users that this rigorous tender process has ensured that the best operators have been appointed, and Council will work with them to make sure park operations support the needs of both the community and visitors,” said Mayor Bye.
“Council also continues to work proactively with the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action to prioritise investment and growth across all caravan parks located on Crown Land, and these improvements will enhance the overall visitor experience.”
Council says users can look forward to significant facility and service upgrades at both site to be completed in the next five years.
