Short Stay & Tourist Accommodation

Tourism & Accommodation Compliance

Tourism developments bring people into some of Victoria’s most beautiful — but also highest-risk — environments.

From caravan parks and resorts to short-stay rentals and cabins, these projects face strict bushfire and safety requirements.

At Collard Bushfire and Environmental, we ensure your accommodation project is not only compliant with CFA guidelines and Victorian planning controls, but also safe for guests and resilient against future risks.
