This page gives information about the land tax exemption for land used for a retired persons' relocatable home park.

Retired people's relocatable homes and home parks

A retired persons’ relocatable home park refers to land comprising home sites that are established for 2 or more relocatable homes.

A relocatable home is a residence that is capable of being moved (in one or more sections) from site to site. It does not include caravans, motor homes or any other moveable structures that can be registered under the Motor Vehicles Act 1959.

Residents of the relocatable homes within the home park have rights of occupation, granted by lease or licence. These residents are predominantly people who are over the age of 55 years and have retired from full-time employment.
