WHITSUNDAY Regional Council in Queensland has formalised an agreement
to have Collinsville declared an RV Friendly town.
Mayor Jenny Whitney said the status would enable Collinsville to be better
promoted to RV travellers and drive tourists as an ideal destination to
stop, shop and explore.
"To earn RV Friendly status, Collinsville had to satisfy stringent
criteria and ensure RV travellers can enjoy ease of access to shopping
areas, low-cost overnight parking and potable water," she said.
The council strongly believed that each of its towns had its own unique
tourist appeal.
"We have worked very closely with the Campervan and Motorhome Club of
Australia and other community stakeholders to position Collinsville as an
RV Friendly town," Cr Whitney said.
"Collinsville celebrates its rich mining heritage through local landmarks
such as the Coalface Experience museum and the bronze Pit Pony statue,"
she explained.
"Hopefully the town will continue to grow its reputation as a friendly,
welcoming community with a lot to offer its visitors."
The CMCA officially declared Collinsville an RV Friendly town on January
15.
