Government funding for new cabins at two holiday parks

Two Shores Holiday Village at The Entrance North and Shelly Beach Holiday Park will be upgraded as part of the Federal Government’s grant funding to support tourism.

The Caravan Park Grants program – which is providing $10M for 111 park upgrade projects across Australia – is part of the Government’s $48M package of new funding to support Australia’s tourism and travel businesses and workers in their continued recovery from the impacts of the pandemic.

A grant of $100,000 to Shelly Beach Holiday Park will support the construction of two new three-bedroom units at Shelly Beach Holiday Park to replace older cabins.

At Two Shores Holiday Village, $100,000 will go towards the refurbishment of 10 cabins to make them more accessible while enabling new bathrooms, kitchens, planter boxes, selling fans and gas stoves.

Federal Member for Dobell, Emma McBride, said the grant funding would provide a boost to local tourism, attracting more visitors and encouraging them to stay longer by providing improved visitor experiences.

“We know that in recent years many Australians have rediscovered the fun and adventure of exploring our own country and the abundance of amazing destinations and experiences our nation has to offer, just like the beaches of the Central Coast,” she said. “Caravan parks are a popular accommodation option for families, budget-conscious travellers and people keen to explore Australia, particularly in our regions.

“This funding will not only support local businesses, it will deliver economic benefits for our community by encouraging more Australians and international visitors to come and stay on the Coast,” McBride said.
