2022 Let’s Go Gold Coast Caravan & Outdoor Expo

The Let’s Go Gold Coast Caravan & Outdoor Expo, brought to you by Caravanning Queensland, will go ahead as planned at Metricon Stadium from Friday March 4 to Sunday March 6.

Caravanning Queensland have released an update on the 1 March to advise that the Stadium precinct is dry and not flooded. Roads are open, enabling good access to the area, and aside from some intermittent showers, the weather forecast is promising.

Jason Plant, CEO of Caravan Trade & Industries of Queensland acknowledges the impact the recent floods have had on southeast Queensland residents.

“Our hearts go out to those in need and our organisation will certainly do our part to assist our member businesses through the recovery process ,” he says.

However, Mr Plant also cites the impact of COVID-19 on the events industry as a key driver for the event still going ahead as planned.

“2020 saw the majority of events cancelled or postponed with ongoing uncertainty throughout 2021, making it one of the hardest hit sectors of the pandemic. And we are committed to doing everything we can to help rebuild the sector,” he says.

“Proceeding with this event demonstrates our support for the businesses, employees and contractors who rely on events like this to survive, many of whom are only just starting to recover from the pandemic. Another cancellation would simply be another setback for this sector,” he adds.

Caravanning Queensland is the peak industry body for caravan dealers, manufacturers, camping suppliers, service providers and caravan park operators through two related associations. These are the Caravan Trade & Industries Association of Queensland and the Caravan Parks Association of Queensland Inc.
