The council finally approved the plans for the tourism park. It has been a long and draining road to reach this point but I am relieved our town has a path forward. I am grateful to everyone who stuck by this project when progress felt stalled.

To The President of the Shire of Gingin


This petition is to support the Gingin Shires proposal for a tourist/caravan park in Lancelin, Western Australian.

This development will help tourism in Lancelin. At this very moment affordable accommodation is very hard to come by. Lancelin is a beautiful town but without tourism and accommodation businesses will have further loss of sales resulting in business closure soon after.

The proposed development is to consist of -

127 caravan sites
32 ensuite caravan sites
32 camp sites
9 safari tent sites
15 drive through sites
26 chalet sites
39 park home sites
Abluion blocks
Grassed open spaces
& Recreational activities such as BBQ's, Tennis Court, Pool and Mini golf.

People seem to think the eco-system and sand dunes will be affected but

* The area is unallocated crown land with vegetation in a degraded condition

* No Wetlands are impacted

* Built infrastructure will be no higher than the existing coastal fortune

* No rare/endangered f,ora/fauna likely to be present

* Beach access will still be by paths north and south or park

* There will be 150M of Coastline foreshore reserve to be established between park and beach


Please sign our petition
Please support Lancelin and its growth

THANKYOU

Seeing this level of support gather makes the long days of fighting for our town feel worthwhile. I am exhausted by the pushback but seeing so many people back our vision for Lancelin keeps me going.

Town needs boost. As long as all environmental issues are addressed, perhaps condition could be that issues with erosion need to be sorted, prior to development commencing. The Dutch have great system to reclaim beach and stop this sort of erosion.

we love camping, but there is not enough campsites north of perth, it is so hard to get a booking especially during holidays. This will definitely encourage us to camp north of perth instead of going south all the time

WA needs more caravan and camping parks, too many campers sleep in car parks. Sites for camping are becoming much harder to find especially during holidays and long weekends. Lancelin needs more tourists to maintain small business. i see only positives in this proposal moving forward.

We own a hous en Gee St just near the site and agree this can only be good for th etown. We have seen it dwindle over the years in numbers, the shops struggle and acknoledge thatytourism is the answer....

Lancelin needs some upgraded facilities suitable for families/holiday makers. Let's hope this progresses!

As a business owner of Suntique in Lancelin, I have watched 2 other small businesses close this year, we need this Caravan Park to go ahead to bring much needed tourism to town.

Support this plan for the future of the town and its businesses...would like to see the cars kept off some areas of beach though.
