Reflections issued a statement on Friday saying a replacement solution for the six fuel service stations at Reflections Parks in NSW, which were shut down in late May due to non-compliance issues, was now being worked towards.

Reflections manages holiday parks at Wyangala and Burrendong, as well as Lake Keepit (Keepit NSW), Cudgegong River (Yarrabin NSW), Grabine Lakeside (Bigga NSW) and Burrinjuck Waters (Burrinjuck NSW).

Reflections Holiday Parks CEO Steve Edmonds said the Group was moving ahead to get the fuel service up and running, with a construction contractor to be engaged in the coming months.

“We have had final approval from the board to proceed, so it’s now a race against time to try and get them in to keep up with our guest’s demands,” Mr Edmonds said.

“This is great news for our inland country parks where visitors and surrounding communities depend on this fuel availability.

“We are putting pressure on ourselves to bring back new and improved fuel supply services and will be excited to share more about how the guest experience will be improved once design solutions are decided on.”

Since the closure of the fuel service stations at the affected parks, the Reflections Group has also been working hard on a temporary fuel storage solution for guests and visitors. 

Affected parks will have the capability to store and decant limited quantities of fuel that guests bring in from next Saturday. 

Mr Edmonds stressed the affected parks only had a limited capacity to store guest’ fuel and advised people to ring parks prior to their visit to check remaining storage availability.

“We are strongly encouraging people to refuel their cars and boats prior to arriving at the parks,” he said.

“However they will now have the option to store a limited amount of fuel at the parks should they need to.

“This helps minimise the inconvenience of our group-wide safety initiative.”
