Burdekin Shire Council Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort said Council is not closing the Groper Creek Caravan Park or the Home Hill Comfort Stop.
"The Groper Creek Caravan Park is operated by the Home Hill Boat Club, not Council. The Committee has advised that, due to financial pressures it is no longer in a position to continue operating the facility.
"Council has been working with the Committee to address compliance matters associated with the operation of the park. While Council has regulatory responsibilities in relation to caravan parks across the region, the decision to cease operating the facility rests with the operator.
"Council remains committed to working with the current Committee, and any future Committee, to support positive outcomes for Groper Creek.
"Council continues to maintain the Home Hill Comfort Stop, and I want to reassure the community that there are no plans to close the facility."
