3.3 Other Housing
Accommodation in caravans, camping grounds and other temporary housing provides
accommodation of insecure tenure.

Caravan parks are not permitted permanent residents, however some may provide options on a
short term basis. Those in Noosa Shire are shown below. There are also camping and caravanning
options in the hinterland of Noosa Shire and the Sunshine Coast which may be used. Noosa Shire
additionally has three Backpacker Lodges, although these are understood to be heavily used by
backpackers.
