The review comes as the State Government implements its $40.7 million Western Australian Caravan and Camping Action Plan 2013-2018 that aims to increase opportunities for locals and visitors to experience affordable, quality and safe caravan and camping holidays in WA.
Announcing the consultation period, Local Government Minister Tony Simpson said he hoped people with an interest in caravanning and camping would comment on the first significant changes to the legislation since 1997.
"With 30 caravan, camper-trailer and campervan registrations for every 1,000 people in WA, it is important people with an interest have a say," Mr Simpson said.
Public comment was first sought on the legislation in May 2014, opening a much needed debate on the outdated laws and the future of the state's caravan and camping industry.
Regional Development Minister Terry Redman said the review would enable the development of commercially sustainable caravan parks and camping grounds and contribute to improved investment conditions required for the growth of the industry.
Public comment on the proposed caravan park and camping ground legislation is open until November 30.
Submissions can be made at dlg.wa.gov.au
