2       PARK OCCUPANCY PERFORMANCE

The below table summarises occupancy data to 31 December 2016. The table highlights a 93.89%
occupancy rate for Noosa River Holiday Park (with powered caravan sites at 99.8% occupancy)
which reflects the location of the park and its popularity with the caravan market and generations
of return users. The Noosa North Shore and Boreen Point Campgrounds’ lower occupancy rates
reflect that these facilities are more remote and offer a different experience. The business activity
has had its biggest peak season and occupancy’s for several years. All three parks have benefitted
from increased occupancy over the past 6 months.
