Referral Motion of 13 April 2011

That the House calls on the Barnett Government to take action to help permanent park home residents obtain greater certainty in relation to their living arrangements in the future...and the Economics and Industry Standing Committee be requested to consider the appropriateness of undertaking an investigation into all park homes that have been closed or have collectively evicted long-stay tenants since 2006 to ensure compliance with all aspects of appropriate legislation.

To assist in its response to the House, the Committee will hold a series of hearings with six State Government departments to obtain follow-up information from relevant recommendations of the Committee's 2010 Inquiry into the Provision, Use and Regulation of Caravan Parks (and Camping Grounds).
