Park rules

Most of our visitors come back regularly, and are happy with the following common-sense rules:

• Maximum stay for casual visitors is two weeks per quarter.
• No camping in the soccer field area.
• No open fires. Fire Pits are okay.
• Wrap garbage and put it in the bins provided.
• No loud noise before 7.00 am, or after 9.00 pm.

Look out for kids

Please drive carefully and watch for kids. There is a 10 kph speed limit in the park. Normal road rules apply. No unlicensed drivers. No passengers in the back of utilities. No driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. No unauthorized machines are to be operated in the park.

Supervise children. Show them where it’s safe to play, and remember, many parts of the park are open to the public. Young children must be supervised at all times, and should be accompanied by an adult when visiting the playground or the ablution blocks.

Pets are welcome

• Not too many. Maximum two (2) per site.
• Don’t let them disturb other visitors.
• Keep them on a leash at all times.
• Don’t leave their waste anywhere in the park.
• Pick it up, wrap it, and put it in the bin.

It’s a family park

Most visitors like to keep things family friendly. The great majority of our guests come year after year, and often with young children, to enjoy the peace and quiet. Alcohol is to be consumed in caravans, tents, or annex spaces, not in public areas. Alcohol can also be consumed in the shade shelter next to the BBQ or in the shelter adjacent to the canteen.

If you are having visitors and wish to erect a marque, please speak to the Caretaker.

Of course, no unpleasant or violent behaviour, no illegal drug use, no weapons, firearms or explosives.

Look after the neighbours

We love our neighbours. It’s a community park, and the neighbours are probably the people who are looking after the park.

• Please keep the noise down.
• Keep music, loud behaviour, and use of generators to a minimum, and not before 7.00 am, or after 9.00 pm.
• Car lights on low beam at night.

Help us help you

It’s our goal to keep improving. Please let us know straight away if you have any problems. Call the Caretaker, on 0419522475. Also give us a call, if you see any damage, or repairs that need attention.

We’d love your feedback. You can text, or email.
