I have owned and run a park for 12 years now and due to the extreme difficulty dealing with the former CTTT and now NCAT we no longer accept long term residents whether they own their own dwelling or rent park owned accommodation.
You get stuck with bad ones who harass and intimidate other residents, vandalise park property, harass tourists etc and we just can’t get rid of them.
We lose the good residents as they are sick of the situation and the tourists stop coming as they don’t want to be harassed by ferals.
I have now been before the Tribunal in excess of 500 times over the past 12 years and little wonder other parks are refusing new residents as well.
This has been compounded by the Government bringing in new legislation requiring Residential Site Agreements for anyone who stays more than 28 days regardless whether they have a motor home, camper trailer, caravan, caravan soft annex, manufactured home or caravan and hard annex.
The Government wants to totally control our businesses but has no skin in the game so we are forced to protect ourselves and in the process forcing more vulnerable people to the margins of society and homelessness.
