A.C.C.E.S.S. Australian Caravan Club Environmentally Safe Scheme - Press Release
Australian Caravan Club - Caring for the Environment
Launching our own self - containment scheme
More and more freedom loving caravanners who wish to camp independently of formal caravan parks, are now travelling in vans that are self-contained. They have their own cassette toilets, freash water tanks and the capacity to retain grey water and other waste either on board or in sealed removeable containers. To cater for this trend and ensure that all of this waste can be disposed of responsibly, Councils and other authorities are providing dump points, ater taps and decent sized wate bins in towns around the country.
Also recognising this move to self-caontainment, a growing number of authorities are restricting the use of informal camping areas to (we call them independent camps) self- contained RV's. Many authorities, in an effort to encourage RV travellers to stop and spend in their towns, are creating new short term stopovers for self-contained RV's. They recognise that these stopovers attract money into their towns that might otherwise be spent eleswhere.
To ensure compliance with Self-containment requirements some authorities are insisting that caravanners and motorhomers who want to use such areas provide evidence of their capacity to be self-contained.
To cater for this requirement and to show our determination to be environmentally friendly campers, the Australian Caravan Club has introduced a self-containment scheme that we have called the Australian Caravan Club Environmentally Safe Scheme (ACCESS). This scheme not only identifies a caravan as being self-contained, it also includes a requirement taht a member is bound by a Code of Conduct, stating their intention to abide by environmentlly friendly principales. Members who join the scheme will be supplied with a window sticker and a copy of the code to keep in their caravan and show on request.
It is not intended that self-containment vans be inspected and certified although in time we hope to have a network of experienced members who can help with any queries.
Memebrship information to ACC can be found on www.australiancaravanclub.com.au
