Kyneton RV disposal point to be relocated

Published on 04 July 2019

The free recreational vehicle disposal point in Kyneton will be updated and relocated in coming months.

The disposal point allows recreational vehicles (RVs) to empty their grey water and black water tanks. It is currently at Kyneton Mineral Springs and is attached to a holding tank, which has limited capacity.

Council will relocate the disposal point to the side of the public toilets in Bourke Street, Kyneton. The new arrangements will allow the grey and black water to be emptied into a disposal point connected to the sewerage system.

There is designated short-term parking for RVs at this site, as it is close to the Kyneton Visitor Information Centre. The site was identified through an assessment process of potential sites in the town with this site offering suitable access for vehicles and appropriate infrastructure for the disposal point.

Kyneton has been declared an RV Friendly Town by the Campervan and Motorhome Club of Australia, and tourists with RVs and caravans provide local businesses with valuable income. In order for Kyneton to retain its RV Friendly Town status, the town must provide a free disposal point for grey and black water.

Residents living near the new Bourke Street site have been informed of the installation of the new disposal point, as has the Campervan and Motorhome Club of Australia.

There will be minor works associated with the disposal point relocation with a realignment of the road to allow access for vehicles. There will be minimal disruption to the area when these works occur, which is expected to be in the 2019/20 financial year. The disposal point at Kyneton Mineral Springs will remain operational until the Bourke Street site comes online and then will be decommissioned.
