Caravan Parks and Camping Grounds Act 1995

An application for the grant or renewal of a licence for a facility is to be —

made to the local government in the appropriate prescribed form; and

accompanied by the appropriate fee prescribed; and

accompanied by any information that the local government reasonably requires for a proper consideration of the application.

An applicant is to provide the local government with any further information that the local government by notice in writing requires the applicant to provide in respect of an application.

An applicant must, if required to do so by the local government, verify by statutory declaration any information contained in, or given in connection with, an application.

Subject to this section, a local government may grant or renew a licence and at any time may impose conditions on that licence.

Before granting a licence a local government must ensure that —

the applicant has complied with the requirements of this Act;

the applicant is the owner of the land on which the facility is situated, or is to be situated, or has the written approval of the owner of that land to apply for a licence.

A local government may refuse to renew a licence if —

the licence holder has been convicted of an offence against this Act or any other written law relating to caravanning or camping which, in the opinion of the local government, renders the licence holder an unsuitable person to hold a licence; or

a condition imposed on the licence has been contravened; or

the licence was obtained by fraud or misrepresentation.

Where a local government refuses to grant or renew a licence it must give notice in writing of that decision to the applicant.

Notice of a decision under this section is to state that the applicant or licence holder is entitled to apply to the State Administrative Tribunal for a review of the decision.
