Background and benefits

In April 2021, Kempsey Shire Council (Council) adopted 10-year Master Plans for each of its Macleay Valley Coast Holiday Parks (holiday parks) to provide strategic direction for the Capital Works program to upgrade, replace and refurbish built assets within the holiday parks.

Many of the existing built assets at Council’s five holiday parks are showing the impact of the extreme coastal environmental conditions on materials that were not suitable for the harsh environment in which they were installed.

As prioritised in the Horseshoe Bay Holiday Park Concept Plan, the existing cabins at Horseshoe Bay Holiday Park have to be replaced because they have reached the end of their serviceable life and are not fit to continue in operation.

The new Tiny Houses will allow visitors to stay in a comfortable, modern cabin that enables them to relax and view the bay, as well as increasing revenue for the park, which is an important revenue source for Council.
