Twelve powered caravan sites will be axed to make space for 18 new self-contained rooms at a Whitsundays region holiday park.

Honey Property Management will build six new cabins, each containing three studio-sized rooms, at its Harbour Lights Caravan Park between Dalrymple St and Santa Barbara Parade in Bowen.

Each studio room contains a 15sq m bedroom, 2sq m bathroom, and a 2sq m kitchenette.

The owners of Bowen's Harbour Lights Caravan Park have received approval from Whitsunday Regional Council to build six new three-studio room cabins. Picture: Contributed

They will be located towards the rear of the 1.66ha park, which is located a short walk away from the Bowen Jetty.

It must pay $30,677 in infrastructure charges to Whitsunday Regional Council which approved for the 12.9m by 4.2m cabins to be built at a minimum of one at a time.

The park is located 400m away from a bus stop and within 1km of Bowen’s town centre.
