Sell my Caravan Park
Selling a park is selling a site mix
Caravan parks are not one business — they are typically two or three businesses sharing a freehold: tourist short-stay, long-term residential (permanents), and cabin rental. Each is valued on a different model, and each is governed by a different piece of legislation. The first job is mapping the mix correctly. The second job is presenting the DA, the lease (if any), and the infrastructure honestly.
Tourist. Permanent. Cabin. One freehold, three trades.
A park's headline number disguises three separate businesses. Tourist sites trade on holiday demand and seasonality. Permanent residential sites are governed by residential-tenancy legislation (different in every state) and trade on annuity-style yield. The cabin fleet is a depreciating fixed-asset business operating on top of the land. Each gets its own valuation logic — and each carries its own legal pack.
Powered and unpowered sites for tourists carry the seasonal income. Buyers read three years of site-nights and the school-holiday peaks against the shoulder months.

Approvals are scarce, and value-bearing
A current DA for additional sites, a tourist-park overlay, or a manufactured-home estate approval can shift the price band by 20%+. We surface DA history, conditions and remaining capacity in the IM — and brief buyers' lawyers in advance.
Permanent residents · every state different
QLD, NSW, VIC and WA all run distinct residential-tenancy regimes for residential park sites. We translate your tenancy ledger into the format the buyer's lawyer wants — by site, by lease type, by end date.
35% of placements go to existing operators
Park operators looking to scale are the deepest sub-pool. We maintain a named-operator list by state, by mix preference, by acquisition appetite — and most of our campaigns place inside that list.

Frequently Asked Questions
Park diligence is heavily documentary. The buyer's lawyer needs the DA history, the residency ledger, the infrastructure reports and the lease (if any) before they'll model a price. Coming to market with that pack already assembled holds the timeline and the price.

The desk
Park campaigns are won on the ground. Each of our park specialists owns a corridor — the Queensland coast, northern NSW, the Murray, regional Victoria — and knows which operators and funds are buying this year.
Get your park mapped. Then decide.
The first conversation is a site visit. We walk the park, look at the cabin fleet, read the DA file, and translate the residency mix into the appraisal model. You get a defensible price range and a written brief on what to do before going to market — or whether going to market makes sense at all.
