RESIDENTIAL PARKS (LONG-STAY TENANTS) ACT 2006 - SECT 15

15 .         Disclosure of park operator’s particulars to long-stay tenant

        (1)         When a park operator enters into a long-stay agreement, the park operator must ensure that the long-stay tenant is given written notice of the following —

            (a)         the full name and address of the park operator and of any person having superior title to that of the park operator;

            (b)         if the park operator or person with superior title is a body corporate —

                  (i)         the full name and address of the secretary of the body corporate; or

                  (ii)         if the body corporate does not have a secretary — the full name and address of a director of, or contact person for, the body corporate;

            (c)         the terms of the park’s operating licence and all licensing conditions including any conditions imposed by the relevant local government authority under the Caravan Parks and Camping Grounds Act 1995 .

        Penalty for this subsection: a fine of $5 000.

        (2)         If a person succeeds another person as a park operator, the new park operator must ensure that each long-stay tenant in the residential park is given written notice of the following —

            (a)         the full name and address of the new park operator;

            (b)         if the new park operator is a body corporate —

                  (i)         the full name and address of the secretary of the body corporate; or

                  (ii)         if the body corporate does not have a secretary — the full name and address of a director of, or contact person for, the body corporate.

        Penalty for this subsection: a fine of $5 000.

        (3)         If a name or address of which the park operator is required under this section to give notice to a long-stay tenant is changed, the park operator must within 14 days after the change give the tenant written notice of the new name or address.

        Penalty for this subsection: a fine of $5 000.

        (4)         However, if a residential park is managed by a real estate agent, it is sufficient for a long-stay tenant to be notified of the address of the agent, instead of the address of the park operator.
