Replacing a
Caravan or Annexe

When is a replacement requirement set on a caravan or annexe?
A replacement requirement for the caravan &/annexe may be set by the office when a current owner wishes to sell their unit on-site. This requirement will be based on the valuation, its’ age, size and condition. The purchaser is aware of any requirements before the van/annexe is purchased.

Is there an age limit for existing caravans in the park?
We don't have an age limit. Only if you wish to sell your unit on-site. 

Are there age requirements for a new caravan and annexe coming into the park?
Yes. Caravans coming into the park must be no older than 15 years old and the annexe must have a compliance plate. Most annexes post 1993 will be compliant. 

Does the office need to approve new caravans and annexes coming into Wynndean?
Yes. Prior to purchasing a replacement caravan and/or annexe, we request that you contact us to approve of its’ suitability and to discuss layout on site. The existing site size and layout will determine the size of the caravan and annexe.

What are the restrictions on caravan size?
Yes, there is a maximum caravan length of 25’ when replacing. (There are some older 80’s caravans at Wynndean at 30’ and over. Upon sale, there will be a replacement requirement of 25’ maximum).

What are the restrictions on annexe size?
To comply with regulations the length of the annexe must not exceed the length of the caravan. Further, the annexe width must not exceed 9 ft. More detail can be obtained from our Trade contacts.

How do I arrange for the removal of an old caravan/annexe?
We can assist with this process and contact the removalist on your behalf to arrange a quote. Your existing annexe may or may not need to be dismantled; by yourself or the installer. Once you have arranged this, we will then assist you to remove the old caravan off site.

Do I have to notify the office of tradesman coming to the park or any works I want to do?
Yes, please inform us prior to any works being commenced. This will help to ensure a smooth and efficient transition. An installation advice will also need to be submitted by Wynndean to the Council.  

Can Wynndean assist with removing and/or putting new caravans on site?
Yes, we are more than happy to assist with the removal of your older van and to place your new caravan on site and into position. This is often done on the same day. The installer can then level the new caravan and install your annexe.
