Motorhome mecca for Borough

QUEENSCLIFF could be Bellarine Peninsula’s latest motorhome destination, thanks to a long-awaited dump point for travelers to dispose of waste for free.
Holidaymakers who are driving self-contained recreational vehicles can now rid their waste in an environmentally friendly manner, after the Borough of Queenscliffe opened the Hygeia Drive site last week.
Queenscliffe mayor Ross Ebbels said the news meant motorhome owners should put Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale at the “top of their travel lists” as coronavirus restrictions ease and tourists venture out of their homes once more.
“The installation of this dump point makes Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale a more convenient and accessible place for visitors to stay.
“If you own an RV, camper van or mobile home, we’re looking forward to welcoming you to the Borough as restrictions ease and you get back
to travelling.”
The installation forms part of the work council is undertaking to support local jobs during ongoing economic challenges.
“While Council has directly supported traders with immediate financial relief measures during the coronavirus pandemic, we’re also looking for ways to boost long-term economic recovery. This free dump point for motorhome visitors will encourage more people to stop and shop in
our community.”
Dump points are scarce in the local area with just a few publicly accessible points in the entire G21 region.
The new dump point on Hygeia Drive will be free to use, and tourist information will be installed nearby to help visitors discover the town.
The dump point was funded in partnership with the Campervan and Motorhome Club of Australia, and will be advertised by them nation-wide.
