The park does not contain any cabins and does not house any permanent
residents. Given the park is a council operated and therefore not-for-profit, it
plausible for the park to be of such small scale (270 beds) and consisting merely
of lower yielding accommodation types. However, such an accommodation mix
would not allow for a financially sustainable private business operation.

Noosa North Shore Caravan Park (Council Operated)
Location: 200 Maximillian Drive, North Shore.
o The park is situated on beachfront land, 100 metres from Lake

Cooroibah and is adjacent to the Great Sandy National Park. Hastings
Street is only 20 minutes drive.
Noosa North Shore consists of a resort section (containing cottages and
units) and the tourist park (containing a mix of cabins, powered and non-
powered sites)

Accommodation

Overall the tourist park (not including the resort sector) is estimated to provide
310 beds comprising 250 beds across powered and non-powered sites and 60
higher yielding cabin beds.

12 Cabins
Containing from four to six berths each
Prices range from $50 to $70 per night

59 Powered Sites
Prices start from $19.50 per night for two or less occupants

 

65 Non-Powered Sites
Prices start from $14 per night for two or less occupants

Facilities include swimming pools, tennis and volleyball court, canoes, and horse-
riding. Noosa North Shore is a successful tourist park situated on prime
beachfront land, incorporating a both a range of accommodation and facilities.
Occupancy is estimated to approximate 100% during peak periods, with some
decline during non-peak periods. The higher yielding resort section serves not
only to provide a more varied mix accommodation types, but is likely to financially
support the lower yielding tourist park. The scale and location of Noosa North
Shore is superior to the Peregian Beach Caravan Park.

Ashmore Palms Holiday Village

This particular holiday park has been included for case study purposes based
upon the popularity of this type holiday accommodation which has won several
tourism awards (including: Queensland Tourism Awards, Australian Tourism
Awards, HMAAQ Awards for Excellence and Gold Coast City Garden
Competition Awards). Ashmore Palms operated as Ashmore Caravan Park prior
to re-development.

Location: Hinde Street, Ashmore, Gold Coast.
While Ashmore Palms is not located within walking distance to any
natural attractions (e.g., rivers, beaches or national parks), it is only a
short drive to many such attractions, theme parks, shopping and dining
precincts
