Freedom camping bylaw now in effect
From today, our new freedom camping bylaw has come into effect around the district, banning campers from Ferry Road and limiting areas where non-self-contained campers can stay.
Councillors adopted the bylaw after hearing submissions late last month.
Policy manager Nick Carroll said the bylaw also meant freedom campers would be allowed to camp in permitted areas for a maximum of three nights and/or four days before they needed to move on.
Camping on reserves remains prohibited under the Reserves Act with the exception of Hipapatua Recreational Reserve (Reid's Farm), Whakamaru Domain, Whakamaru Recreational Reserve and Mangakino Recreational Reserve.
