Residential park owners are required by law to register their park with NSW Fair Trading and advise of changes in registered information.

Park owners must inform Fair Trading of changes in any of the following information within 30 days:

• park name
• park owner/s
• park land owner/s
• park manager
• park manager contact details
• closure or opening of the park
• a significant change in the number of sites used for permanent occupancy at the park.
  A significant change occurs if the number of sites used for permanent occupation at the park increases or decreases by 10% or 10 during any calendar year (whichever is the greater) – calculated in reference to the number of permanent occupancy sites at the residential park as last notified.

If a park is not operating as a residential park because the park occupants are all tourists, holiday makers, short–term or long–term casual occupants, the park owner or manager should complete and return the declaration form below.

The public parks register provides Fair Trading with valuable industry data as well as important contact information. This ensures park operators and resident representatives can be consulted on relevant issues and kept up to date on changes to the law.
