Federation Council has officially opened an Expression of Interest (EOI) process, inviting experienced developers and holiday park operators to lead in the major re-development and long-term management of the iconic Ball Park Caravan Park in Corowa, NSW.
Positioned in a prime absolute-waterfront location on the banks of the Murray River, the park is one of the region's most significant tourism assets. The EOI (Reference: 2026-305) represents a unique, blank-canvas opportunity to modernise the site, elevate the visitor experience, and solidify Corowa as a premier drive-market destination.
Federation Council Mayor, Cr Cheryl Cook said the launch of the EOI marks a thrilling new chapter for local tourism and economic growth.
"Ball Park Caravan Park has been a cherished holiday destination for generations of families, but the time has come to unlock its true potential," Mayor Cook said.
"We are looking for a visionary partner with the commercial expertise and creative drive to transform this incredible Murray River site into a state-of-the-art, high-quality holiday precinct."
The Council is seeking submissions from operators or consortiums with a proven track record in master planning, modern infrastructure deployment, and first-class facility management.
"This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of Murray River tourism," Mayor Cook said. "Whether it's introducing innovative accommodation options, premium eco-cabins, or enhanced family amenities, Council is eager to see proposals that respect our beautiful natural environment while injecting new vibrant energy into our visitor economy. The flow-on benefits for our local businesses, cafes, and retail shops will be substantial."
Interested parties are encouraged to review the comprehensive briefing documents and submit their proposals before the June deadline.
