ABOUT 200 caravanners are set to assemble at the small town of Kaniva in Victoria for their annual gathering.

And the local West Wimmera Shire Council said it will be pleased to welcome the Trakmaster Off-Road Caravan Club from March 30 to April 6.

Chief Executive David Bezuidenhout said the event would present "a fantastic opportunity" for the town and shire.

"We are very excited to welcome the caravan club and hope they take advantage of the many attractions we have here in West Wimmera Shire," he said.

The week is expected to generate more than $60,000 for the local economy.

The caravans will stay at the Kaniva Recreation Reserve.

Kaniva businesses have been urged to take advantage of the gathering and make the visiting caravanners feel welcome.

The council is running a 'best dressed' window competition, with business owners being encouraged to decorate their shop windows to welcome the visitors.

There will be prizes for the best window, which will be judged by members of the group.

The council is also providing a show bag for each caravan on arrival, which will include tourism information and vouchers to be spent at local businesses.

The Trakmaster Off-Road Caravan Club was formed in 2003 and now has more than 300 members.

Each year they have an annual gathering either in Victoria or interstate, which involves about 100 caravans.

The gatherings aim to bring an economic boost to small communities.
