Camping

Section 10 of the Caravan Park and Camping Grounds Regulations 1997 states that a person may only camp at a licenced under the Act Caravan Park or camping ground or on private property with the permission of the owner for up to 3 nights in any 28-day period.

Camping includes to camp in a vehicle.

The Shire of Gingin experiences a great deal of popularity with various interest groups that has led to frequent casual camping and a rise in associated problems such as littering, unauthorised fires, abandoned motor vehicles and obvious health risks.

As a result, the penalties associated with a breach of the Regulations in relation to camping involve either an infringement notice with a modified penalty of $100, or up to $1,000 if dealt with by a Summons to appear in Court.

The Shire of Gingin will not hesitate to enforce the provisions of these Regulations.

The Moore River Area located on Indian Ocean Drive is a designated picnic area. As it is not classified as a "rest area", as per the Caravan Park and Camping Grounds Regulations 1997, camping is prohibited.
