PROTESTS against a planned holiday caravan park at Maitland's Walka Water Works have stepped up, with more than 200 people rallying against the $15.1 million project.

The Save Walka Community Alliance, which spearheaded Sunday's rally, had extended an invitation to Maitland mayor Philip Penfold last week to explain the merits of the project. Cr Penfold did not attend.
