Premium Content Subscriber only Campers will have to pay to stay at the formerly free Lake Proserpine Campground under a proposal coming before Whitsunday Regional Council today. Councillors will consider a business plan, prepared by Balfour Consulting, which recommends adopting a ‘pay per use’ operation model for the current facilities. The current three-night limit would be increased to seven nights under the new commercial model, according to council documents. The fee would be $6 per person per night, or $24 per night for families with three to six children. The business plan also recommends the council seek $2.5 million in grant funding to upgrade facilities at the campground over the next five years, including introducing cabin accommodation and powered sites, with fees of $120 per night and $30 per vehicle per night respectively.
