I had decided that my original idea to post this during the proposal process to clarify things might actually end up confusing some so held off. Below is a list of the annual fee increases (nothing to do with the RIS situation) These should be in place in most campgrounds(effective 1st November). Also compared with the same the year before.

Araps

- going up from $4 in 12/13 to $5 in 13/14
- No charge for vehicles

Grampians, Brisbane Ranges and Cathedral Ranges

- Going up from 17.60 in 12/13 to 19.80 in 13/14 for a undesignated ‘site’ for up to 6 people and one vehicle
- Additional vehicles going up from 6.90 to 7.80
- Bush camping in the Grampians is currently free

Buffalo (Peak times) (Melb Cup to last w-e in April inclusive)
- Going up from 27.90 in 12/13 to 31.40 in 13/14 for a designated site of up to 4 people and one vehicle
- Additional people going up from 6.20 to 7.00
- Additional vehicles going up from 6.90 to 7.80
- Remote camping sites going up from 6.20 to 7.00

Cheers,
Tracey
