Inverell Considers Motels At Roadside Camp Areas
The Inverell Municipal Council may consider motel proposals in its area to attract caravans and motoring tourists with a future plan for modern parking and caravan parks near the river. A long range scheme earlier envisaged roads, baths, and a caravan park, but was not pursued. Local figures discuss a chain of motels on the New England Highway and a £30,000 Albury motel nearing completion with full services. Inverell remains a residential business town, reliant on sports and events to draw visitors, with potential shifts if exploration yields strong results.
