Free caravan workshops available.

A free-flying caravan is never a sight you want to see as you cruise the highways and byways so Ballina Council is running free Caravan Safety Workshops.

Ballina Shire Council is inviting the community to improve their caravan skills and knowledge. Three free workshops will be held in Ballina on 20 March 2023 for local caravan owners.

‘Whether you are an experienced caravan tower or new to the game, come along and hear from the experts, get some great tips and have your questions answered,’ said Ms Helen Carpenter, Road Safety Officer, Ballina Shire Council and Transport for NSW.

 The Caravan Safety Workshops will provide information, demonstrations and support on the safe loading and towing of caravans to ensure you are safe on your next adventure. These interactive workshops will be run by Tow-Ed, a training company who provide specialised programs for caravan enthusiasts.

Three sessions will be held on Monday 20 March at the Gawandii Room, Lighthouse Beach Ballina Surf Club:

  • Session 1 – 8.30am
  • Session 2 – 11am
  • Session 3 – 1pm

Each session will go for approximately 1.5 hours. Online registration is essential, and each session is limited to 50 places.

A demonstration vehicle and caravan will be used on the day so please do not bring your own caravan. 

This event is a collaboration with Tweed Shire Council and proudly supported by the NSW Government.
