Rockhampton Regional Council has wrapped up work on a second free caravan waste dump point.

Rockhampton Region Mayor Tony Williams said the dump point has been installed at Cedric Archer Park in Gracemere to service travellers heading west to the Queensland Outback.

"Works are now complete, and the dump point is now ready for public use," Mayor Williams said.

"This service offers an environmentally friendly solution for caravan users to dispose of grey and black water, as well as sewage waste, with it available 24/7 for convenient use by travellers."

Mayor Williams said Council is pleased to deliver another dump point to the Region, strategically placed to encourage travellers to stop in Gracemere.

"By locating it in an easily accessible spot at Cedric Archer Park, travellers can park and enjoy use of the park that features picnic tables and seating, water play, pump track, playground and plenty of space to stretch your legs," Mayor Williams said.

"We are encouraging caravaners to stop in at the local businesses and enjoy doing their shopping with relative ease being so close to the Capricorn Highway."

Divisional Councillor Edward Oram said the installation of the dump point at Cedric Archer Park was a great win for the Gracemere community.

"By installing this service at the park, we hope travellers will not only enjoy the fantastic amenities at Cedric Archer but also take the time to explore our town and everything it has to offer," Cr Oram said.

"I have a deep appreciation for Gracemere's wonderful, tight-knit community, and I hope all the travellers will come to love it just as much as I do."

Another caravan waste dump point and potable water refill station is located at the Explore Rockhampton Visitor Information Centre, with access via Ferguson Street, Allenstown, behind the centre.
