Caravan Parks Act 2012

The main objectives of this Act are to make provisions in relation to operators and residents under caravan park agreements:

to balance their rights and duties, including by providing for terms of those agreements; and

to improve the understanding of operators and residents of their rights and obligations in relation to occupancies; and

to ensure operators and residents are provided with suitable mechanisms for enforcing their rights under caravan park agreements and this Act; and

to ensure residents are provided with safe and habitable caravans under caravan and park site agreements and enjoy appropriate security of tenure; and

to facilitate operators receiving a fair rent in return for providing safe and habitable accommodation to residents under caravan park agreements.

Some provisions of this Act also apply to persons who are living in a caravan park but are not residents to whom a caravan park agreement applies.

Part 16 also makes provision for long term occupants of caravan parks.
