126 Aims, objectives etc
The aim of this Part is to encourage—
the orderly and economic use and development of land used or intended to be used as a caravan park catering exclusively or predominantly for short-term residents (such as tourists) or for long-term residents, or catering for both, and
the proper management and development of land so used, for the purpose of promoting the social and economic welfare of the community, and
the provision of community facilities for land so used, and
the protection of the environment of, and in the vicinity of, land so used.
The strategies by which that aim is to be achieved are—
by requiring that development consent be obtained from the local Council for development for the purposes of caravan parks, and
by providing that development consent may be granted that will authorise the use of sites for short-term stays (whether or not by tourists) or for long-term residential purposes, or for both, and
by requiring that development consent be obtained from the local Council for the subdivision of land for lease purposes under section 289K of the Local Government Act 1919.
