Caravan and Residential Parks Victoria represents caravan parks and residential land lease communities, providing thousands of Victorians with greater options for affordable housing and active lifestyle living.
More than 90% of the land lease living sector in Victoria are association members, meaning we play a crucial role advocating for member caravan parks and residential land lease communities.
The popularity of buying a home in a residential park continues to grow in Victoria, as it provides cost effective and affordable accommodation for those wishing to downsize in a resort-style community, while still having all the benefits of owning your home and having total independence.
There are also many tourist parks that provide dedicated areas for residential living that may allow relocatable homes or caravan and annexes be set up in their parks.
Residing long term in a caravan park or land lease community has many advantages as ongoing maintenance is usually less that an established home and they provide a safe and secure environment and a sense of belonging to a community.
Residential parks provide common areas, a range of facilities and amenities for the personal comfort, convenience and enjoyment of residents, however these can vary considerably between parks.
When considering living or renting long term in a caravan park or selling your home and moving into a residential park is a big step – it is a good idea that you seek independent financial and legal advice and familiarise yourself with the provisions of the Residential Tenancies Act.
The good news for those considering residential parks is that if you are entitled to any form of pension, it is likely that you will also be able to receive Commonwealth rent assistance. The amount of rent assistance you can receive varies depending upon the level of rent.
