The Batlow Caravan Park upgrade project was completed and the park reopened for camping and caravans in July 2020.

Background

Funding of $723,000 was allocated from the NSW Government's Major Projects Infrastructure Fund to undertake a compliance audit of the Batlow Caravan Park and undertake a prioritised schedule of works to ensure the park complies with current standards.

The Project

Due to the extent of upgrades identified in the compliance audit, the Batlow Caravan Park was fully closed while remediation works were undertaken. Council worked closely with the vacating lessee and permanent residents of the park to secure alternate accommodation.

Work included a clean-up of the park, removal of dilapidated buildings, installation of new buildings including office, amenities and camp kitchen, improvements to roads and fencing and electrical upgrades.

Following the devastating Black Summer bushfires Snowy Valleys Council purchased and installed six cabins at the Batlow Caravan Park and made them available as temporary, affordable accommodation for local residents impacted by the fires.
