15 Disclosure of park operator’s particulars to long‑stay tenant

(1)

When a park operator enters into a long‑stay agreement, the park operator must ensure that the long‑stay tenant is given written notice of the following —

(a)

the full name and address of the park operator and of any person having superior title to that of the park operator;

(b)

if the park operator or person with superior title is a body corporate —

(i)

the full name and address of the secretary of the body corporate; or

(ii)

if the body corporate does not have a secretary — the full name and address of a director of, or contact person for, the body corporate;

(c)

the terms of the park’s operating licence and all licensing conditions including any conditions imposed by the relevant local government authority under the Caravan Parks and Camping Grounds Act 1995.

Penalty for this subsection: a fine of $5 000.

(2)

If a person succeeds another person as a park operator, the new park operator must ensure that each long‑stay tenant in the residential park is given written notice of the following —

(a)

the full name and address of the new park operator;

(b)

if the new park operator is a body corporate —

(i)

the full name and address of the secretary of the body corporate; or

(ii)

if the body corporate does not have a secretary — the full name and address of a director of, or contact person for, the body corporate.

Penalty for this subsection: a fine of $5 000.

(3)

If a name or address of which the park operator is required under this section to give notice to a long‑stay tenant is changed, the park operator must within 14 days after the change give the tenant written notice of the new name or address.

Penalty for this subsection: a fine of $5 000.

(4)

However, if a residential park is managed by a real estate agent, it is sufficient for a long‑stay tenant to be notified of the address of the agent, instead of the address of the park operator.
