A unique camping and recreational park that will offer everything from drive-through sites to camping or caravan sites, to ‘glamping’ cabin sites, has been proposed at The Abbey Place in Caboolture.
Named Driving Wheels Homestead RV & Camping Park, the proposed development will deliver 173 short-term accommodation sites including powered and unpowered camping and camper trailer sites; powered caravan, RV, and 5th wheeler sites; drive through sites; cabins, glamping, and ensuite sites, among other amenities and ancillary facilities.
The sites will be constructed in two stages: Stage 1 (10 drive through sites, 68 camp or caravan sites, 7 glamping or cabin sites, and 10 small vehicles sites) and Stage 2 (5 drive through sites, 64 camp or caravan sites, and 9 glamping or cabin sites).
The proposed development site has a total area of 105,200 sqm and will be divided into three precincts: Reception, Eastern, and Western.
The park will offer recreational facilities and amenities including a reception and dining building, a large picnic shelter, children’s fig tree playground, a “beach style” shallow pool, a fire tower with climbing activities, a zero depth water splash play area, a mountain bike trail, glamping accommodation, water splash park, a camp kitchen, children’s cycle circuit, children’s play area, visitor facility centre, pool and leisure area, a bike pump track, and a waterside deck.
There will be a number of formal open areas as well, including a food truck plaza and an open grassed area located next to the fire tower. Also, there will be a dog exercise area and dry creek channels plus a total of 173 car park spaces.
“Driving Wheels Homestead RV & Camping Park will provide a unique style of tourist and visitor accommodation with recreational facilities, taking advantage of, and enhancing the existing natural features of the site and complementing them with innovative and intuitive landscaping, building, and activity assets,” the planners at ADAPT said.
“The Park will be an environmental park full of natural and constructed features designed to provide a variety of short-term accommodation options for visitors to the Pumicestone and Moreton Bay Region. These accommodations will be complemented by numerous service and recreational facilities.“
