Residential Parks (Long-stay Tenants) Act 2006 Discussion paper

Last updated: 18 February 2026

The review is required to assess the operation and effectiveness of the Act during the three key stages of the tenancy: 

  • prior to living in a park
  • living in a park
  • leaving a park. 

The review will determine whether changes to the Act, the Residential Parks (Long-stay Tenants) Regulations 2007 (Regulations) or guidance material published by LGIRS would improve their operation or effectiveness.

You are invited to comment on any of the issues contained in this discussion paper or any other matter you consider relevant to the review.
