Tumbarumba Caravan Park Redevelopment
Consultation has concluded
Background
Tumbarumba Caravan Park Redevelopment (Stage 1) was funded by $1,040,000 from the Federal Government and an additional contribution of $1,646,519.03 from Snowy Valleys Council.
The Project
Construction of two double-storey accommodation units and associated infrastructure at the Tumbarumba Caravan Park was completed in December 2018. These new 118 beds provide essential and affordable accommodation for Tumbarumba's seasonal workers and tourists.
The redevelopment also included the upgrade of the power supply, sewer, storm water and waste water connections and the construction of permanent roadways, car parking, internal pathways, landscaping and pedestrian lighting. A camp kitchen was installed in February 2019 to support the new lodgings.

The first two cabins arrived at the park on Friday 31 January. The cabins called “Montana” sleep up to 6 people and will be equipped with a queen ensemble and two double bunks, sub floor skirting, microwave, fridge, spit system air-conditioning, service connections and activation items such as cutlery, crockery and linen.
The remaining two cabins and residence/office are scheduled to arrive this week. One of the cabins will be upgraded for all access disability compliance, a positive step in making the park user friendly to more people.
Connections to the new buildings will take 1-2 weeks and we are on track to have them available for Tumbafest.

Council resolved to install four two-bedroom cabins and a new residence and office building. The new cabins are currently being manufactured offsite and are targeted for installation and commissioning early February
