  Have your say

VICTORIA'S caravan industry Hall of Fame and Business Awards have been given the go-ahead for next month.

Caravan Industry Victoria said the December 3 event would provide an opportunity for member businesses and individuals to be recognised for their outstanding work, achievement, commitment and dedication to the industry.

The 2020 awards were cancelled and there have been several postponements in 2021 due to COVID-19.

Chief executive Rob Lucas said he was "pleased" to confirm the awards would now go ahead.

They would recognise business and individuals for outstanding achievement from July 2020 to June 30 2021.

Tickets for the event, to be held "in person" at The Centre Ivanhoe in Upper Heidelberg Road, are sold out but industry businesses wanting to attend can join the wait list by emailing events@ciavic.com.au
