Wimmera Mallee Caravan Parks

The Wimmera Mallee region is emerging as a key tourism destination, attracting visitors to the Silo Art Trail, waterways, open landscapes and night skies. The Wimmera Mallee Strategy will strengthen tourism infrastructure and visitor experiences across the region.

We worked with Wimmera Mallee Tourism, caravan park operators, stakeholders and local communities to review existing facilities and develop concept plans tailored to each caravan park setting and character: Rainbow’s bushland, Warracknabeal’s Yarriambiack Creek frontage and Minyip’s Buloke woodland.

Each park was redesigned to meet the Residential Tenancies Regulations 2020. Masterplans address amenities, cabins, caravan and camping areas, communal spaces, landscaping, access, servicing, signage and emergency management.

The plans provide a 10+ year framework for staged development, improved safety, accessibility and visitor amenity. Recommendations include better road layouts and drive-through sites, view-oriented cabins, quality camp kitchens, shade and windbreak planting, irrigated camping lawns, walking trails, nature-based activities, regional signage, and protection of indigenous and established vegetation.
