Holiday parks back in Hindmarsh Shire's hands
Management of all four holiday parks across Hindmarsh Shire is now "back in-house", manager of economic development and tourism Mark Fletcher has announced.
This is in addition to Four Mile Beach camping area.
"In September Hindmarsh Shire Council resumed management of Nhill Holiday Park," Mr Fletcher said this month.
"This marks an exciting time to build on the solid foundation established at the parks over recent years."
Mr Fletcher said holiday parks played "a crucial role in the shire’s tourism and economic development strategy, driving increased visitation and longer stays" in the region.
"Council is taking further steps to support and strengthen these parks by undertaking a review of operations and transitioning to a new structure with increased resources," he said.
"Alongside ongoing investments in infrastructure improvements, the restructuring of park operations and expanding our team will enhance our capacity to deliver high-quality visitor experiences and maintain consistent standards across all four parks."
Mr Fletcher said the shire acknowledged the "significant contributions" of its holiday park staff in recent years to bring all five facilities to their current standards and thanked them for their "dedication to the parks and for providing excellent visitor experiences".
He said Hindmarsh Shire was recruiting a caretaker for Dimboola and finalising the appointment of the equivalent in Nhill.
"Additionally, team leader holiday parks and a bookings officer position are open for applications to further develop and support our parks," Mr Fletcher said.
"These two roles will work across all four parks to build flexibility and capacity as well as support our existing teams."
