Hargey seeks views on current Caravan Act

Communities Minister Deirdre Hargey has today launched a 12-week stakeholder engagement period into the 2021 Review of the Caravans Act.

Hargey seeks views on current Caravan Act

The review seeks input from interested stakeholders to aid assessment of the key emerging issues of the current Caravans Act (Northern Ireland (NI) 2011 in order to inform potential options to address.

The Department for Communities is required to review parts of the interdepartmental Act relating to the the residential sector every five years however this year will be reviewed in its entirety.

Minister Hargey said:

“This engagement will allow stakeholders to engage and provide their views and help inform the overall outcome of the review.”

“The views of caravan owners and site owners and others in both the residential and holiday sector will help the cross-departmental working group determine what recommendations may be required to address potential concerns..

“I would therefore encourage those within the sector to take this opportunity to make your voice heard and help influence the findings of this review.”

The review questionnaire will run for 12 weeks from today until 08 March 2022 and is accessible here .
