Burrum Heads caravan park upgrade complete
THE BURRUM Heads Caravan Park is now fully open following a major upgrade.
The redevelopment was delivered in stages, with the southern end of the park finished in January and the riverfront end completed in late August.
Fraser Coast Regional Councillor Michelle Byrne said the work involved replacing ageing infrastructure and adding modern facilities to better suit today’s travellers.
“Burrum Heads is a favourite for families, fishers and caravanners,” she said.
“These upgrades make stays easier, safer and more comfortable, with wider internal roads, improved services and new facilities.
“We thank residents, businesses and regular guests for their patience while these works were completed.”
The redevelopment included:
• Upgraded internal roads and underground power, water and sewer services
• Reconfigured and larger riverfront sites
• New camp kitchen and BBQ areas
• New amenities and toilets
• New manager’s residence
• Dog-friendly section (conditions apply)
The caravan park upgrade was identified as part of the Burrum Heads Community Plan 2020 – 2030, which was developed in consultation with local groups, key stakeholders, and the wider community.
It follows the Scarness Caravan Park redevelopment, which was completed in late 2024. Work on the Pialba Caravan Park upgrade recently began.
“A key focus for Council is to plan for the future, and to effectively manage and maintain our assets, and these projects are an example of how we are working to achieve that for our community,” Cr Byrne said.
The Burrum Heads Caravan Park is one of the largest in the region, offering more than 100 powered and unpowered sites just steps from the Burrum River and beach.
Its prime location makes it a drawcard for anglers, families and grey nomads, with demand for sites often peaking months ahead of school holidays.
The park also plays a significant role in supporting the local economy, with visitors frequenting nearby shops, cafes and the popular boat ramps.
