Nobody banned living in an Australian caravan park, yet long-term residents can end up with fewer rights than a weekend tourist in the cabin next door. This video walks through ten mechanics, each with real legislation and named cases like Acclaim Rose Gardens Beachside Holiday Park in Albany and Drummond Cove Holiday Park in Geraldton, that explain how casual tariffs, zoning caps, site-fee formulas, vacant possession clauses and Crown lease reassignments combine to push long-staying residents off land they never actually owned. You will see the real numbers behind tourist cabin rates versus long-term site fees, how ex gratia payouts compare to formal closure compensation under state tenancy acts, and why owning a relocatable home outright still leaves you with no claim on the ground beneath it. It ends on the one truth every other rule quietly serves: this land is often worth far more without its residents than with them.
