Support the rights of Tasmanian caravan residents: sign the petition

Late in 2024, COTA provided a submission into the Long Term Residency in Caravan Parks Consultation for Tasmania. 

We're awaiting the outcome to see if there'll be any Government policy changes to give residents increased rights when living in Caravan Parks.

In the meantime, COTA Tasmania supports the following petition submitted to the Parliament of Tasmania, House of Assembly that asks the House to call on the Government to:
 


1. Immediately enact an interim regulation in the Residential Tenancy Act 1997 to include residents/tenants or lessees in Caravan or Tourist Parks within the provisions of the Act to provide some interim certainty to both park owners and residents.


2. Release the Government's response to the public submissions on the Regulation of Long-Term Residency in Caravan Parks in Tasmania Discussion Paper, that closed on the 2nd of October 2024.


3. Introduce comprehensive and effective legislation to protect the rights of Caravan and Tourist Park residents by June 2025.
 


Petition closes: 11/3/2025. You can read more and sign the petition at the link below.
