Campground Closures

Following the Queensland Government announcement on Wednesday 25 March in relation to the closure of all campgrounds in national parks, state forests and state managed recreation and protected areas, in response to the COVID-19 (corona virus) outbreak, Council is now also required to do the same for all Council operated camp sites. This includes all sites within the Isaac Region as outlined below:

The closure of camping grounds does not include residential caravan parks.

People who have camp sites booked will receive a full refund for unused camping permits.

Council is closely monitoring the current COVID-19 pandemic and implementing responses in accordance with Federal and State Government guidelines. It is the intent of Council to take reasonable precaution in a reasonable manner to ensure that the potential and actual risks relating to the transmission of the COVID-19 virus are managed effectively, efficiently and transparently.

Council is committed to supporting Queensland Health as the lead agency responsible for responding to novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and will ensure our community is kept informed. If you are concerned or exhibiting cold or flu symptoms, particularly cough and/or fever it is advised you contact 13HEALTH (13 43 25 84) or HEALTH DIRECT (1800 022 222) for advice.
