Executive summary

Warburton Holiday Park, set across 25 acres along the Yarra River in Victoria’s Yarra Valley, is one of the region’s largest mixed-accommodation parks, offering bush camping, villas, cabins, and powered sites. With more than 80 annual and permanent residents, the team faced growing administrative pressure and needed a more efficient way to manage long-stay guests.

A smarter way to manage annuals and agreements

RMS enables Warburton Holiday Park to manage resident agreements, occupancy data, and billing all in one platform. Through the RMS Guest Portal, site holders can sign documents digitally and receive timely, automated reminders. All communications are time-stamped, helping the team stay compliant with tribunal requirements.

The result is a simpler, more efficient way to manage permanent residents, freeing up staff to focus on delivering great guest experiences.

Making it easier to send out Annual Agreements and follow-up payments or documentation, allows my staff to spend more time doing activities that enhance the guest experience.

Challenges

With over 80 long-stay guests, the team used manual processes to prepare, send, and track annual site agreements, creating a heavy administrative workload, especially when following up on unsigned documents or overdue payments.

Without timestamped correspondence, meeting compliance requirements for VCAT (Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal) processes was more challenging. Resident data, payments, and occupancy records were managed across multiple sources, making it harder to operate from a single, consolidated system. The team needed a centralised system that could reduce manual tasks, support compliance, and streamline daily operations.
