The local council is to take back control of the Ocean View Caravan Park in Onslow, Western Australia. The Shire of Ashburton will reclaim the leasehold for the park on September 3, following a request for early termination by current lessee.
“The Shire will do everything possible to provide upgrades and maximise the park’s potential while continuing to support the tourism industry,” said Shire President Kerry White. “Local Government has successfully managed caravan parks all over the country, and the Shire intends to develop and build on this valuable asset.”
Councillor White said that some tourists had been visiting Onslow regularly for over 20 years, adding value to the community, supporting local business and engaging in local activities.
“Business for the park will continue as usual while plans for redevelopment and upgrade are in progress,” she said. “The annual tourists are extremely important to the fabric and diversity of this town, and we will continue to encourage and support this.”
