A ‘residential park’ may also be known as a caravan park, manufactured home estate, mobile home village or relocatable home park.  Residents of a park may own their caravan or manufactured home and rent the site from the park owner.  Residents may also rent accommodation that is owned by the park owner.

The resident and park owner are required by law to sign a ‘residential site agreement’, ‘moveable dwelling agreement’ or a ‘residential tenancy agreement’ depending on the situation.

The Residential Parks division applies to people who permanently live in a residential park.

The CTTT hears and determines applications from both park residents and park owners.  Lodge a residential parks application online or download an application form.

The CTTT often receives a large number of concurrent applications from a group of residents from the one park concerning the same issue.  These are referred to as ‘multiple applications’.
