E-Rideable Ban FAQs
Coral Coast, Western Australia
The below FAQs explain the changes to our park rules at RAC Cervantes Holiday Park following a ban of e-ridables to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all guests.
Due to safety concerns, we have introduced ban as of 1 July 2025 on recreational e-rideables within the park boundaries, this includes eScooters, eSkateboards and eBikes. This policy does not apply to mobility scooters or motorised wheelchairs.
We have heard the feedback of many guests who have had unpleasant experiences involving disruption to the holiday experience, resulting from e-rideables. This decision aims to improve your overall experience at our park and create safer shared pathways and roads.
-
Why is RAC doing this?
-
We are implementing a permanent ban at RAC Cervantes Holiday Park, along with a open feedback period to help ensure a safer and more enjoyable environment for all guests during their stay.
In recent times, we’ve received increasing feedback from both guests and team members regarding unsafe use of e-rideables — including incidents where riders have not followed road rules or have created unsafe conditions, particularly for families with young children.
This has become a challenge for our team to manage consistently on-site. With a number of other holiday parks across WA having already introduced similar bans and seen overwhelmingly positive guest feedback, we are taking this opportunity to do the same approach at RAC Cervantes Holiday Park.
This ban will allow us to better understand its impact on the guest experience, and we welcome feedback throughout the open feedback period to help inform any future decisions across our other holiday parks & resorts.
-
Are all e-rideable types banned?
-
The ban applies to all recreational e-rideables, including:
· Electric scooters (eScooters)
· Electric skateboards (eSkateboards)
· Electric bicycles (eBikes)
Mobility aids such as motorised wheelchairs and mobility scooters are not included in the ban and remain welcome within the park.
-
Where can I use my e-rideable?
-
We recognise that e-rideables offer a range of benefits — from supporting sustainable travel to reducing traffic and encouraging outdoor exploration. While the use of e-rideables is temporarily restricted within the park grounds, they remain a fantastic way to discover the beautiful surrounds of Cervantes.
Here are a couple of recommended rides nearby:
Hansen Bay Lookout – Just one kilometre from RAC Cervantes Holiday Park, this short ride offers stunning panoramic views of Hansen Bay, the offshore islands, Lake Thetis, and the Cervantes townsite.
Lake Thetis Stromatolites – Approximately one kilometre further along Hansen Bay Lookout Road, this natural wonder features rare living marine stromatolites. The scenic ride there is well worth the visit.
We encourage you to take advantage of these local highlights while enjoying the benefits of your e-rideable outside of the park. Please do, however ensure you consider the risks of riding on main roads and public pathways and never allow a child to ride alone.
-
Is this a permanent ban?
-
Yes, this is a permanent ban at RAC Cervantes Holiday Park. The ban is in place from 1 July 2025 and is intended to help us evaluate how the absence of e-rideables affects the guest experience. We welcome your feedback during your stay, which will help inform any future decisions to expand the ban to our other holiday parks and resorts.
-
What happens if someone is seen using an e-rideable in the park during the trial?
-
Our team will politely remind guests of the ban and ask them to dismount and walk their e-rideable out of the park. We ask all guests to help maintain a safe and relaxed environment by respecting the temporary policy. Just like with any of our other park rules, guests who refuse the follow them will be asked to leave.
-
Can I walk my e-rideable through the park to access local paths?
-
Yes — guests are welcome to walk their e-rideable (with power off) to the park boundary or exit point. Once outside the park, you’re free to ride in accordance with WA road rules and local council regulations.
-
Are bikes or scooters without motors allowed?
-
Yes — traditional pedal-powered bicycles and push scooters are still welcome. We do ask all riders to travel at a safe speed and be mindful of pedestrians and young children. Note that all biked, including pedal bikes and manual scooters are not permitted in shared spaces such as kitchens, recreation rooms or within the pool area.
