[2] On its website, ARPRA writes that it makes sure that each member's "voice is heard" and as such, it represents the interests and concerns of people who are using caravan or residential parks in New South Wales as their principal place of permanent residence.
[4][5][6] The Association also represents members before the Consumer, Trader and Tenancy Tribunal of New South Wales (CTTT) in disputes between residents and park operators.
[7] While disputes usually revolve around rent increases, ARPRA volunteers frequently represent members on matters such as park rules, termination of agreements, and the right to live in "quiet enjoyment and reasonable peace, comfort or privacy".
[9][10] In 1995, following the lobbying done by ARPRA and other interested tenant organizations, the Government created new legislation to provide residential park residents with improved protection.
[11][12] In 1999, ARPRA’s state body and affiliates became involved in a campaign against the practice of charging Goods and Services Tax on site fees or rent.
