Newy 87.8 FM – Muswellbrook Shire Council has placed the Draft Denman Tourist Park Master Plan on public exhibition for 28 days, from 20 October 2026 to 17 November 2026.
Council resolved to exhibit the draft plan at its Ordinary Meeting held in Muswellbrook on 22 September 2026.
The plan would transform the old Denman Recreational Area grounds into a tourist park, following Council's recent works and planning which have led to further development of the concept design.
It is proposed the Denman Tourist Park will attract short term visitors, workers and a range of tourist groups, including grey nomads, international travellers and families, by providing camping and caravan sites and cabins. In the longer term, school groups could be catered for through dormitory style accommodation.
The park would provide short-term accommodation located near existing infrastructure, with that infrastructure remaining for longer-term community benefit.
Council says the site offers opportunities due to its close proximity to the Denman town centre and sporting precinct, which includes recreational grounds, an aquatic centre, an indoor sports centre and a golf course.
Submissions will be accepted until close of business on 17 November 2026 and should quote Denman Tourist Park Master Plan. Following the public exhibition period, a further report will be submitted to Council for consideration.
