Why Managed Caravan Rental with Three Burrows Keeps You Council-Compliant and Cash-Positive

🚐 Why Using a Managed Caravan Rental Service with Three Burrows Keeps You Out of Trouble (and Pays You Too)

Across Queensland, councils are tightening their stance on caravans parked in suburban streets — and it’s catching many owners off guard. At Three Burrows Caravan Hire, we’ve seen first-hand how quickly a well-intentioned owner can find themselves breaching local laws just by leaving their caravan parked outside their home.

Let’s break down what’s changing, why it matters, and how our Managed Caravan Service solves it all for you.

⚠️ The Hidden Risk of Street-Parking Your Caravan

Under Queensland transport law and local council by-laws, any vehicle that’s 7.5 metres or longer (or over 4.5 tonnes GVM) cannot legally park or stop on suburban streets for more than one hour in built-up areas.

That means if you own a typical 21-foot caravan — which measures around 9 metres in total length including drawbar and rear bumper — it technically falls outside the legal limit for street parking.

So even if it’s registered and tidy, it can still attract complaints, fines, or council enforcement orders for breaching parking time limits or obstructing sightlines in residential areas.

Many owners are surprised to learn this. Councils from Brisbane to the Sunshine Coast are now monitoring long-term on-street caravan storage more closely, citing safety and visual clutter concerns. In short, keeping your van parked at home is becoming increasingly risky.

🧰 How Three Burrows Keeps You Fully Compliant

Our Managed Caravan Rental Program takes all the hassle — and all the risk — off your hands.

Here’s what’s included:

1️⃣ 

Secure Storage (Discounted)

We offer safe, off-street storage solutions for managed vans across our North Brisbane depot network — ensuring your van is legally stored, insured, and ready to hire at any time.

No fines, no angry neighbours, no council headaches.

2️⃣ 

Professional Maintenance & Safety

We handle all routine servicing, safety checks, and cleaning between hires. From tyres to bearings, awnings to water systems, everything is maintained to Camplify-certified standards — protecting your investment and keeping your van hire-ready.

3️⃣ 

Passive Income While You Relax

Instead of paying storage fees for a van that sits idle, you could be earning 12–25% ROI annually through managed hires. We handle listings, bookings, customer support, insurance, and compliance — you simply collect your share.

4️⃣ 

Peace of Mind

Our team ensures your caravan always meets Queensland road and safety standards, including weight limits, registration, and compliance documentation. You’re protected from council breaches and covered by comprehensive Camplify insurance.

💡 Why This Matters More Than Ever

With multiple Queensland councils lobbying for even tighter street-parking restrictions, caravan owners who self-store at home will face growing compliance risks.

Partnering with a licensed, Camplify-certified rental manager like Three Burrows not only keeps your van earning — it also ensures you’re operating within the law.

In short, you’ll avoid:

• 🚫 Council fines and notices for illegal parking
• 🚫 Neighbour complaints or visual-impact breaches
• 🚫 Deterioration from weather exposure or neglect
• ✅ And instead enjoy secure storage, passive income, and professional care
