Work starts on Pialba Caravan Park upgrade

Work is now underway on a major upgrade of the Pialba Caravan Park.

Fraser Coast Regional Council Major Projects spokesperson Daniel Sanderson said a temporary turnaround area had been built in front of the existing manager’s office to support safe vehicle access during construction.

“The western side of the park, between the manager’s office and Beach Road, is now closed to guests so construction can begin,” he said.

“This redevelopment is all about ensuring the caravan park remains a safe, accessible and appealing destination for years to come.”

The upgrade will include replacing underground services, improving internal roads and landscaping, building a new camp kitchen and BBQ area, installing new toilet and shower facilities, and creating a new recreation zone.

Cr Sanderson said the project would be delivered in stages to allow parts of the park to remain open.

“Construction is expected to run for about 18 months, weather and site conditions permitting,” he said.

“This investment will ensure the Pialba Caravan Park continues to be a popular spot for visitors and is focused on making the park more functional and comfortable while preserving its relaxed coastal feel.”

The upgrade of the Pialba Caravan Park follows the redevelopment of the Scarness Caravan Park, which was completed in late 2024.

Work is also continuing on the upgrade of the Burrum Heads Caravan Park, with the first stage completed earlier this year and the second stage due to be completed in the coming months.

Council will also soon start community consultation on options for the Torquay Caravan Park site.
