Good Corporate Citizen Award
Caravan parks around Queensland make significant contributions to their local communities each year and often this good work goes unnoticed. The Good Corporate Citizen award allows CPAQ members to be recognised by their peers for the support they provide to their local community.
This award is presented to a park owner/operator that has made a significant contribution to the local community within the last twelve months. This may be through a significant donation or financial contribution to a community project, hosting a community event in their park or involvement in local activities.
Any Queensland caravan park that has made a significant contribution to the local community within the last twelve months.
The winner of this Award will receive:
The 2022 Outstanding Host Award
Profile in an upcoming next edition of the Parkies Post
A blog on the team on the Caravanning Queensland consumer facing website
A feature on the Caravanning Queensland Facebook and Instagram pages
Recognition in the 2023 Queensland Caravan Parks Directory
Judges are asked to determine how well the nominee has followed the instruction provided (e.g. have all of the questions been answered, and has the appropriate additional information been provided).
Each question, or piece of information requested, will be allocated a score (up to x points). Judges will score the answer of each question out of that score and give the nomination a total score out of 20 (with the overall score weighted more heavily than the other scores) - these scores will be added up and used to the determine a winner.

This is your opportunity to share with other operators, to encourage them to be leaders in their community and to help them participate more fully.
Is there anything else you would like the judges to know to assist them with the judging process?
It is important in any awards application to give as much information as possible and take every opportunity to showcase the achievements of the nominated team. Use this question to provide additional information, this may be why you are proud of the team, the impact it has had beyond guest reviews and financial results, what winning the award would mean to you or something else you feel is important for the judges to know.
It is important that you include each of the items requested in the other information supplied section, this is a chance to get some easy points and in the past has been the difference between the winning nomination and the nomination that came second.
