BelgraviaPRO to Manage Normanville Jetty Holiday Park and Rapid Bay Campground

The District Council of Yankalilla is pleased to announce that on 17 March 2025, contracts were executed with the highly experienced BelgraviaPRO (Bpro) for the management and operations of both the Normanville Jetty Holiday Park and Rapid Bay Campground.

Following an extensive evaluation process over more than 18 months, Council carefully considered various management models for the operations of the Normanville Jetty Holiday Park. After thorough analysis, Council resolved to pursue a Management Licence Agreement model to ensure the continued success and sustainability of the park.

A rigorous tender process followed, leading to negotiations that presented an opportunity for Bpro to extend its industry expertise to the management of both the Normanville Jetty Holiday Park and Rapid Bay Campground. This alignment of circumstances resulted in a single experienced operator managing both parks, ensuring consistency and a high level of service for visitors.

Council’s Chief Executive Officer, Nathan Cunningham, reflected on the process:
“Through careful planning and a detailed selection process, Council has chosen Bpro to manage these important community assets. We are confident that Bpro’s industry expertise and proven track record will enhance the visitor experience while ensuring the long-term viability of both sites.”

As a recognised leader in park management, Bpro brings extensive experience, skills and knowledge to the role. With a portfolio of over 42 parks across Australia and New Zealand, Bpro is well-positioned to elevate the standard of service and visitor experience at both locations.

Bpro CEO Nick Cox expressed gratitude for the opportunity to oversee the management and operations of Normanville Jetty Holiday Park and Rapid Bay Campground.

“We’re proud to partner with The District Council of Yankalilla in managing both of these wonderful parks on the Fleurieu Peninsula. These parks aim to provide a welcoming place for travellers of all ages and backgrounds, offering a range of activities from outdoor adventures to relaxation, where guests can socialise, unwind and explore the surrounding natural attractions,” said Mr Cox.

“This partnership aligns with our commitment to supporting local economies by employing local staff, engaging regional suppliers and investing in community resources,” added Mr Cox.

The transition to Bpro’s management has been meticulously planned, ensuring good relationships, extended preparation, on-site handover and provisioning for a smooth transition. Continuity of service remains a priority and visitors to both the Normanville Jetty Holiday Park and Rapid Bay Campground can expect a seamless experience, with the existing booking processes remaining unchanged.

Additionally, Annual Licences will remain the responsibility of the Council, including the ability to set prices and enter into licence agreements. However, the payment process will be adjusted and this will be communicated to all relevant Annual Licence holders in due course.

Mayor Darryl Houston expressed his enthusiasm in reaching this milestone, stating, “I’m excited to see this long and complex process conclude, which secures a positive operational future of such important community assets through the signing of the agreements. We are confident that visitors and the broader community will benefit from the Parks being managed by such a professional operator with extensive and highly relevant experience”

The District Council of Yankalilla looks forward to working with Bpro to continue delivering exceptional holiday experiences at these iconic local destinations.
