Tourist and Leisure Parks

Swanbury Penglase has undertaken master plans for a number of council tourist and caravan parks providing planning options for the park facilities. These include the Clare Caravan Park and Riverton Caravan Park for Clare & Gilbert Valleys Council and the Kapunda Tourist Park for Light Regional Council.

The master plans establish a guiding framework for future development for the sites and provide recommendations for staging of works. Key areas of focus include:

• improvements to the park entrance ensuring site access and signage is clearly visible from the street and has a high level of amenity
• rationalisation of traffic movement
• development of under utilised areas
• opportunities for additional accommodation facilities
• reorganisation of the site to improve functional site relationships
• siting options and the use of landscaping to improve the privacy of accommodation facilities
• improvements to directional signage and wayfinding
• park security

This planning strategy involves the organisation of the site into different precincts defined by the landscape design. The aim of this is to provide greater choice for accommodation within different landscape settings whilst offering diverse settings for recreational and leisure activities. Distinct areas included aquatic, woodland, grassland and gardened settings.
