THE new manager of Lake Dyer Caravan and Camping Grounds in Queensland's Lockyer Valley is determined to offer guests "memories that last a lifetime".

Donna Smith has been awarded the official management agreement of the facility, between the villages of Laidley and Forest Hill and just a short detour off the Warrego Highway.

She will operate the caravan and camping grounds with husband Herb and said they were excited to hit the ground running.

"The appointment will allow us to elevate our services and expand our footprint and we are excited to attract more tourism opportunities for our region," she said.

With extensive experience in caravan and camping management under her belt, Donna was awarded the official Management Agreement of the caravan and camping grounds.

Lockyer Valley Deputy Mayor and Community Facilities Portfolio Councillor Jason Cook said she had proven herself over the past seven years and had worked hard to elevate its reputation.

"Donna's broad scope of skills in the field, together with extensive local knowledge, means she will be able to continue providing the exemplary level of service we are accustomed to from this facility," he said.

"This is a win for our community and a decision that will provide significant long-term local benefit in the ever-expanding tourism market."

Donna said the camping grounds were embedded in the heart of the Lockyer Valley.

"With so many restrictions on travel due to the lingering global pandemic, we are passionate about our reputation and putting the spotlight on the Lockyer Valley and all it has to offer," she said.

"The appointment of this agreement will allow us to elevate our services and expand our footprint and we are excited to attract more tourism opportunities for our region.

"We look forward to helping locals and visitors alike reconnect with nature and make memories that last a lifetime."

The two-year management agreement comes with the option of an additional two years.
