Untapped Recreation Revenue from Occupation Licences

1 verified sources

Definition

Plans mandate management of occupation agreements (e.g., leases for caravan parks, grazing), but high visitor volumes (2.5M/year across GMW sites) create leakage without digital tracking.[1]

Key Findings

  • Financial Impact: 1-3% recreation revenue leakage; AUD 20,000-100,000 p.a. missed licences per major site
  • Frequency: Annual licence renewals and ongoing monitoring
  • Root Cause: Manual tracking of occupation licences in recreation areas

Why This Matters

The Pitch: Hydroelectric operators in Australia lose 1-3% of recreation revenue (AUD 50,000+ p.a. at sites like Lake Eildon) due to poor licence management. Automation captures all billable occupation agreements.
