Cowley Beach Caravan ParkRequest for Caretaker Services

COUNCIL is seeking quotations for onsite Caretaker Services at the Cowley Beach Caravan Park. The proposed term is from April 2023 to April 2024, with potential to extend thereafter.

The site comprises a total of 32 powered sites, 14 unpowered sites, newly refurbished amenity block, camp kitchen, coin operated laundry and a free-standing, onsite two-bedroom residence with office and reception area.

Cowley Beach in the Cassowary Coast region, just 20 minutes south of Innisfail. This quiet beachfront hamlet is 8kms off the Bruce Highway and has a kiosk and caravan park, and a small army camp to the north. Cowley Beach is just half an hour from the towns of Tully and Mission Beach.

Cassowary Coast Mayor and Planning portfolio holder Mark Nolan said with the current Beach Furniture Clean Up program being undertaken; Council want to provide an opportunity to consider permanent struc- tures as replacements in areas that matter to you and support residents and visitors who make use of our beach foreshore areas.

“We want to hear from the community on where they would like to see benches and picnic tables installed. Works will commence in the coming months and continue into 2024. It’s easy to have your say with by visiting Council’s Your Say page.

“Interested residents, and visitors, can visit the site and place a pin where they would like to see these facilities installed. The survey is open now and will close at 4pm, Friday 24 March 2023.”

Council is currently developing its Open Space Strategy and suggestions for additional furniture in Council managed Parks and Open Space will be assessed in conjunction with that process.
