Just a quick heads up
The
dump point at the Mullumbimby Leagues Club and
campground is NOT available to the general public. To use it you must be camped there. The
sign states that if you are not a camper fees MAY apply.
When you phone the number provided a very rude individual tells you the NO you cannot use the
dump point and NO you cannot pay a fee to use it.
Sounds like the committee are very peeved that the
Showgrounds are operating a camping/caravan park again. The people at the
Showgrounds are very helpful and allowed me to use their
toilet facilities to empty the cassette.
They have applied to the CMCA for help in providing a public facility/
dump point.
At least the Showground Trust has the total community at heart. Not like the other mob.
We will go back to the
Mullumbimby Showgrounds next time we visit this town too.
Stay
well and stay safe

I simply do not understand what more councils do not provide public dump points.
Particularly those in prime toursit areas.
Seriulsy this is not an expensive service.
I don't carry a portabog, but there are plenty who do.
If you are in local government are reading this......do you have a public
dump point...if not why not.
Do you want tourists to come to your town......do you want people dumping their $%#t in the bush.
Hell even if its a big hole with a shovel on a chain...ya gota do something.
Come on help em do the right thing.
cheers

Many caravan parks do not allow outsiders to use their dump points, and this is their business choice. It seems that the Leagues Club have also chosen this way.
With so many the travelling public with their own caravan or motorhome
toilets, for councils to provide a
dump point is really no different to providing
public toilets; it is just a shift in use. Councils should provide dump points for public health.
The Mullumbimby Showground still charge $20 per night for powered sites and unpowered are $15 and certainly welcome visitors. I understand that the Leagues Club charge $20 and they have no powered sites - is this accurate?

I don't know about the fees they NOW charge but they certainly had power sites when I stayed at the Leagues Club last time I was in Mullumbimby. But I will never stay there again nor recommend pothers to stay.
By the way a earlier post suggested I didn't want to pay, that is incorrect. Apparently the
sign is out of date and because of the Showground being back in opposition they no longer want anybody other than their campers to use the dump site.
