What is a fully self-contained motorhome, campervan or caravan?

A fully self-contained motor home, campervan or caravan is a vehicle which carries its own water supply, contains internal washing and toilet facilities, and has an on-board waste water storage tank.

A vehicle is deemed to satisfy the requirement to be a fully self-contained vehicle if it is accredited by the Campervan and Motorhome Club of Australia under its Self Contained Vehicles Policy of 2016, and displays a current SCV panel issued by the CMCA.

If a vehicle is not accredited by the CMCA, the owner or occupier of the vehicle must sign a declaration to the effect that the vehicle satisfies the requirements of the Self Contained Vehicles Policy of 2016 and will function at all times as a fully self-contained vehicle when occupying land at Cooee Point.

An authorised officer of the Council may request to inspect a vehicle to establish whether it satisfies the requirement to be self-contained at any time during which a permit is current to camp on Cooee Point.

 

Camping without a Permit is prohibited on all Council reserves in the Burnie municipal area. 

The Council does not generally permit camping in any form on a Council reserve.

The Council will only grant a Permit for a fully self-contained motorhome, campervan or caravan to camp for a limited period and subject to terms and conditions within the designated free camping area on Cooee Point.
