District Council of Yankalilla has contracted BelgraviaPRO (Bpro) to manage the Normanville Jetty Holiday Park and the Rapid Bay Campground.

The agreement follows an evaluation process over more than 18 months that examined various management models, followed by a tender process.

Council CEO Nathan Cunningham says Bpro is a recognised leader in park management, bringing extensive experience, skills and knowledge to the role.

“Through careful planning and a detailed selection process, Council has chosen Bpro to manage these important community assets. We are confident that Bpro’s industry expertise and proven track record will enhance the visitor experience while ensuring the long-term viability of both sites.”

Bpro has a portfolio of more than 42 parks across Australia and New Zealand.

CEO Nick Cox says the company is grateful for the opportunity to oversee the management and operations of Normanville Jetty Holiday Park and Rapid Bay Campground.

“We’re proud to partner with The District Council of Yankalilla in managing both of these wonderful parks on the Fleurieu Peninsula. 

“These parks aim to provide a welcoming place for travellers of all ages and backgrounds, offering a range of activities from outdoor adventures to relaxation, where guests can socialise, unwind and explore the surrounding natural attractions,” he says.

“This partnership aligns with our commitment to supporting local economies by employing local staff, engaging regional suppliers and investing in community resources.” 

The council says transition to Bpro’s management has been meticulously planned, ensuring good relationships, extended preparation, on-site handover and provisioning for a smooth transition. 

“Continuity of service remains a priority and visitors to both the Normanville Jetty Holiday Park and Rapid Bay Campground can expect a seamless experience, with the existing booking processes remaining unchanged.”
