Diggers Camp Camping


Clarence Valley Councils ruling on camping at Diggers Camp. See attachment.

Cr Karen Toms is a part owner of a caravan park at Iluka.

Just another kick in the arse for low cost camping.

Not somewhere I would frequent as it is only open for camping during school holidays and costs $12 pp per night

G'day all
I can well see that because this camping area is ONLY open during school holidays, and is alongside the beach, it will always be a very popular destination.

Should a camper be say, a family of 4 or 5, the numbers of showers & the washing of dishes etc. will create heaps of grey water ... which historically has been allowed onto the ground. Thus, if the council now wants to 'keep it clean' then a restriction on discharge of grey water makes sense.

What I might also suggest to council is that they incorporate an on-site camp host to assist / regulate campers to ensure that all council requirements are followed ~ a twice-weekly visit by the ranger may not be enough

Phil-
