Occupancy Performance

The below table summarises occupancy data for the period 1 July 2014 to 31 May 2015. The
table highlights a nearly 90% occupancy rate for Noosa River Holiday Park which reflects the
geographical position of the park and its popularity with the caravan market and generations
of return users. The campgrounds’ lower occupancy rates reflects that these facilities are
more directed towards the camping market and offer a more remote and different
experience.

Further information regarding occupancy information will be provided in future reports.
