The Southern Qld town of Warwick is embroiled in a debate over the RV Friendly Towns Scheme which is promoted by the CMCA. It always amazes me when something like this happens that some sections of a community cannot see the trees for the forest getting in the way but that is my biased opinion from the point of view of a motorhome owner ( or at least that is how some would see it).
The caravan park owners lobby group is in full and vocal swing against the proposal which is their usual form when these things are raised. Always surprised me that a group like this which must comprised maybe 1 or 2% of the number of businesses in the region can have so much voice when it comes to these matters. This is not the first town where this has happened, Maryborough Qld and Barcaldine Qld also being classic examples.
