This is temporary and we look forward to reopening once the planning and development approval process has occurred,\u201d the statement reads.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a major impact on our family. Hidden Camp isn\u2019t just a business to us \u2013 it is our home, our livelihood, and something we\u2019ve poured our hearts, savings and countless hours into.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately, this means Hidden Camp could remain closed for several months while this process runs its course.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know this is incredibly disappointing for everyone who had plans to visit, and it is devastating for our family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The statement adds that all its future bookings have been cancelled and full refunds would be issued through HipCamp.<\/p>\n<p>It comes a fortnight after tragedy struck at an unlicensed rave being held on the site.<\/p>\n<p>The heartbreaking incident saw New Zealander Mr Ehrhorn fall from the stage at the event and die as a result of his injuries.<\/p>\n<p>Following the tragedy, the Hidden Camp owners said they were \u201cdeeply saddened\u201d by the incident in a statement published on its Facebook page.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with the family and friends of the deceased, as well as everyone affected by the tragedy,\u201d it read.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also recognise the impact this has had on our neighbours and the wider Glenwood community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A 33-year-old man from Burpengary was taken into police custody following the incident.<\/p>\n<p>However, earlier this week, Queensland Police confirmed that no charges had been laid at this stage and investigations were still ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>Read related topics:<a class=\"topic_tag\"
