🏆 Point of Law got across the line today. Now let’s get a few points of law sorted for Victoria’s tourist and residential parks!

Clearer tourist park planning rules, certainty for glamping, longer Crown land leases and a consistent approval pathway for residential land lease communities would unlock investment, support regional tourism and deliver more affordable homes.

With the Victorian election approaching, we’re backing reforms that make Victoria a winner. 🐎

CRPVic’s 2026 Victorian Election Charter calls for reforms to unlock tourism investment, create regional jobs and support affordable housing in Victoria.

🏠 Victorian election announcement: Labor commits to Caravan & Residential Parks Victoria request for clearer planning for residential land lease communities.

This morning, Victorian Labor confirmed that, if re-elected, it will continue working with Caravan & Residential Parks Victoria to establish a clear planning pathway for residential land lease communities under Victoria’s new planning legislation.

Minister for Planning Sonya Kilkenny has told CRPVic that RLLCs have an important role to play in housing more Victorians.

“Right now, RLLC proposals can be assessed differently from council to council, creating delays and uncertainty that can hold back new homes, particularly for older Victorians looking to downsize.”

“Labor has confirmed the proposed approach will aim to create clear, consistent rules and standards, support faster decisions on appropriate proposals and provide greater certainty for councils, developers and future residents.”

This directly responds to one of the seven priorities in CRPVic’s 2026 Victorian Election Charter.

📰 Caravan & Residential Parks Victoria is taking the case for longer Crown land tourist park leases to the media.

We’re calling on all parties contesting the Victorian election to support leases of up to 40 years, giving operators greater confidence to invest in accommodation, facilities and better holiday experiences.

Tourist parks provide 50 per cent of regional Victoria’s holiday accommodation. With caravan and camping visitation at record levels, investment needs to keep pace.

Growing regional tourism. Longer leases. Stronger tourist parks.

🏡 More people are calling regional Victoria home. We need housing options that keep pace.

Residential land lease communities give people aged 55 and over the opportunity to right-size, maintain their independence and stay connected to their community.

Manufactured homes can typically be built in regional Victoria within 12 to 16 weeks. But planning barriers are holding back investment and the delivery of much-needed homes.

CRPVic is calling for practical, no-cost planning reform to unlock more housing choices, support regional manufacturing jobs and help free up existing family homes.
Our industry is ready to invest. It’s time to unlock the opportunity.

🌙 13.1 million caravan and camping visitor nights
🚐 4.7 million overnight trips
💰 $2.95 billion in visitor expenditure

UNLOCKING PRIVATE INVESTMENT IN VICTORIA'S PUBLICLY OWNED TOURISM ASSETS
Victoria has an opportunity to attract significant private investment into some of its Crown land tourist parks, without having to fund that investment directly.
Across our coastal, riverfront and regional destinations, tourist park operators are prepared to invest in new accommodation, upgraded amenities, infrastructure and visitor experiences.
However, investments worth millions of dollars require the certainty of appropriate long-term leasing arrangements.
As part of our 2026 Victorian Election Charter, Caravan & Residential Parks Victoria is calling on the next Victorian Government to extend Crown land tourist park leases to up to 40 years, where appropriate.
The outcomes are clear: greater private investment, modernised publicly owned tourism assets, increased visitor accommodation, stronger regional economies and more Victorian jobs.
Importantly, these improvements can be delivered through private capital while retaining public ownership of the land.
The opportunity is to unlock investment that industry is ready to make.
