Established in 1987, Securitec Lawyers is one of Australia's leading specialist caravan park and residential village law firms, serving the caravan park, manufactured home estate, residential village and land lease community sectors throughout Australia and New Zealand.

For almost four decades, we have delivered expert legal advice, commercial guidance and strategic business solutions to caravan park owners, residential village operators, accommodation providers, resorts, motels, local councils and government authorities throughout Australia and New Zealand.

Unlike traditional law firms, our lawyers combine extensive legal expertise with genuine hands-on industry experience. We understand the commercial realities of owning, operating and managing caravan parks and residential villages because we've worked within the industry ourselves. As specialist caravan park and residential village lawyers, we provide practical, commercially focused legal advice tailored to the unique needs of the industry. From acquisitions and sales to compliance, employment, governance, commercial agreements, disputes and strategic planning, our advice is designed to protect your business and support long-term success.

Principal Steve Bartlett holds a Bachelor of Laws and is an admitted Australian legal practitioner with more than two decades of experience advising caravan park owners, manufactured home estate operators and residential village operators. In addition to his legal qualifications, Steve has owned and operated caravan parks, holiday parks and residential parks since 1998, giving him a unique understanding of the legal and commercial challenges facing park owners and operators.

Steve is a former President of Caravan & Residential Parks Victoria (formerly VicParks) and former Executive Director of the Caravan Industry Association of Australia, the national peak body representing the caravan park industry. This long-standing leadership experience enables Securitec Lawyers to provide informed legal advice backed by a deep understanding of industry legislation, commercial operations and emerging regulatory issues.

Few Australian law firms can match Steve's combination of legal expertise, industry leadership and first-hand experience owning and operating caravan parks. This unique perspective enables Securitec Lawyers to deliver practical legal advice grounded in real commercial experience.
