PROSERPINE RV PARK TO RE- OPEN
Whitsunday Regional Council today voted unanimously to reopen the popular free Proserpine RV Rest
Stop from next year, signalling strong support for tourism growth and local business in the heart of Proserpine.
Located behind St Catherine’s Church on Main Street, the free 48-hour stopover will reopen for the
dry season (April to October each year), welcoming fully self-contained vehicles and bringing a
significant boost to the town’s visitor economy.
Economic modelling shows that reopening the site could inject between $860,000 and $1.7 million
annually into the Proserpine economy through traveller spending on local goods and services.
Mayor Ry Collins said the decision reflects Council’s commitment to supporting local business and
driving regional tourism.
Division 3 Councillor John Collins said he was proud to see the community’s calls for reopening
the site formally supported by all Councillors.
“I’ve advocated strongly for the return of the RV Rest Stop because the community has been very
clear that it works for Proserpine,” Cr Collins said.
“This is a win for our local business community, our tourism operators and the many volunteers
who have worked hard to make visitors feel welcome here.
Under the plan endorsed at today’s Ordinary Council Meeting, the Rest Stop will reopen from April
2026, with minor upgrades, improved signage and seasonal operation to minimise wet-season
maintenance.
Council will now progress a Development Approval amendment and finalise lease and operational
arrangements ahead of reopening.
