Planning for the Future of Gnowangerup Caravan Park

The Shire of Gnowangerup has taken an important step towards the future of local tourism and visitor accommodation with the development of the Gnowangerup Caravan Park Strategy.

The strategy provides a long-term vision for the caravan park, identifying opportunities to improve facilities, enhance the visitor experience and support the continued growth of tourism in the Shire.

Gnowangerup is ideally positioned as a gateway to the Stirling Range National Park and the wider Great Southern region. Providing welcoming, accessible and quality accommodation encourages visitors to stay longer, explore the local area and support local businesses.

A vision for the future

The Caravan Park Strategy is about looking ahead and planning for what the park could become.

Rather than focusing solely on immediate improvements, the strategy provides a framework to guide future decisions, identify priorities and explore opportunities for investment.

The document outlines a direction for the future, with proposed improvements subject to funding availability, further planning and Council budget considerations.

Building opportunities for investment

Having a clear strategy in place puts the Shire in a stronger position to pursue external funding and partnership opportunities as they arise.

By identifying long-term goals and potential projects, the Shire can take a considered approach to improvements, working towards a shared vision as resources become available.

Supporting the local economy

Visitor accommodation plays an important role in regional communities.

Encouraging more people to stay in Gnowangerup creates opportunities for local businesses, from shops and cafés to tourism operators and other services.

As tourism and events continue to develop across the Shire, quality accommodation will remain an important part of supporting that growth.

Looking ahead

The development of the Caravan Park Strategy is a positive step in planning for Gnowangerup's future.

While improvements will take time and depend on available resources, having a clear direction is an important starting point.

The strategy provides a foundation to build upon, helping the Shire work towards a caravan park that meets the changing needs of visitors and contributes to a thriving local community.
