A caravan park totally devastated by floods in Victoria earlier this year is to be completely re-built.
The $4.1 million redevelopment of Bridgewater’s public caravan park has been approved by the Loddon Shire Council. The town which sits astride the Loddon River is well located on the Cader Highway north-west of Bendigo and is a popular spot for grey nomads.
The Bendigo Advertiser reports that the council will reopen the site as a camping ground over the Christmas, New Year and Easter periods, but its grand plan is to reopen the park to state-of-the-art standards.
The park would consist of 110 sites, with 31 powered, 27 premium with water views, 42 standard and 10 ensuite cabins. Plans for the redeveloped park also include a significant area for public open space and improvements to the foreshore area.
When completed, it is expected that the redeveloped park will be leased to a private operator.
