Learn all about towing safely

Published on 21 February 2024

MidCoast Council in conjunction with Transport for NSW will address all your important caravaning questions in two upcoming workshops.

Own your own caravan but have questions about weight?

Wanting to buy your dream van but haven't much experience with towing?

Tow a van and have some questions about loading?

Council is hosting two workshops on safe caravan towing where you can ask questions and get the answers from the experts at Get About Training -  Tow-Ed .

The interactive two-hour workshops provide information and demonstrations to support the safe loading and towing of caravans and trailers.

Council’s Road Safety Officer, Chris Dimarco said the experts will be able to answer just about any towing related questions.

“It’s important to make sure you know how to load and weigh your caravan, and drive safely while towing,” he said. 

“Overloaded and overweight vans can affect your insurance cover, so this is an opportunity to check you are safe on the roads before you head out on your next adventure.”

The free workshops will be held at Council’s Administration and Customer Service Centre at Yalawanyi Ganya, Biripi Way Taree on Friday, 8 March 2024.  

The two sessions start at 1pm and 5pm and seating numbers are limited so bookings are essential.

Reserve your place at one of the two workshops by registering online at Council’s website and follow the links.

If you would like any further information or do not have access to the online registration, please contact Council’s Road Safety Officer on 7955 7777.
