Infamous Anglesea caravan park tender process given the all clear

The infamous tender process that saw an Anglesea caravan park forced to close has been given the all clear.

As 3AW Drive broke during summer, the much-loved Anglesea Beachfront Family Caravan Park will be no more after the Great Ocean Road Coast Committee decided it won’t extend its lease.
