PARK RULES FOR NURSERY PARK

In these rules:

• “occupier” means anyone who occupies a park home, whether under an agreement to which the mobile home act 1983 applies or under a tenancy or any other agreement;
• “you” and “your” refers to the homeowner or other occupier of a park home; and
• “Pitch” includes any driveways, trees, shrubs, hedges, buildings, sheds, fencing and park sites.
