In the months leading up to the cancellation of the 2026 event, the industry was in discussions with the Victorian government to supply 10,000 caravans to house Games volunteers and workers.“The week before [the cancellation], they spoke to me and said, ‘We thought industry was going to pay for it’,” Caravan Industry Victoria chief executive Daniel Sahlberg said.
Allan added: “The investment that we’re making through the $2 billion regional package ... is going to support even further our fabulous tourism industry in regional Victoria. And that’s got to be great for the caravanning industry as well.”he had met with the Andrews government in the 10 months leading up to the cancellation after organisers quickly realised they had limited options to accommodate vital Games support staff.
He told them the industry could build or provide about 10,000 caravans to be ready specifically for 2026.But during conversations with the Games operational team in June, he said, questions emerged over where funding would come from because the caravan industry fell under multiple departments, such as tourism and manufacturing.
