Nanango became the first South Burnett town to be officially declared an ‘RV Friendly Town’ on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The Campervan and Motorhome Club of Australia, which represents 66,000 recreational vehicle (RV) users, added Nanango to its list of 59 Queensland towns which have satisfied its criteria.<\/p>\n

The self-contained RV tourism market is currently estimated to be worth more than $2.5 billion annually, and the number of registered RVs in Australia is expected to grow to more than 700,000 vehicles by 2020.<\/p>\n

The club, which aims to create partnerships between RV tourists and the towns they visit, hopes to maximise the value of RV tourism to metropolitan and regional Australia.<\/p>\n

In order to qualify for the program, towns must satisfy a number of criteria including:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Access to a general shopping area<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • Provision of appropriate low cost overnight parking for self-contained vehicles, and<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      • Access to potable water and a free dump point<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        The group says Nanango’s business community should see some direct benefits from the town joining the RV Friendly Town network.<\/p>\n

        Nanango will be promoted to RV travellers across Australia through the CMCA club magazine The Wanderer, as well as the CMCA website and social media.<\/p>\n

        The announcement was welcomed by Sport and Recreation portfolio chair Cr Roz Frohloff.<\/strong><\/p>\n

        “Nanango is fortunate to have fully equipped caravan parks catering to the needs of those who want to extend their stay in this region,” Cr Roz Frohloff said.<\/p>\n

        “The town also supports RVs by providing specially allocated parking for RV visitors at the South Burnett Energy Centre for those wanting to shop in the CBD.”<\/p>\n

        The announcement was also welcomed by South Burnett Mayor Keith Campbell.<\/p>\n

        “Being an RV Friendly Town, Nanango has the opportunity to promote the region\u2019s attractions and capture a part of this massive growth market,” Cr Campbell said.<\/p>\n

        “I’m sure RV tourists will quickly let their fellow travellers know what a great place Nanango is to visit, and encourage them to experience what it is that makes this town unique.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
