Freedom Camping Submission Summaries

John Gillon from John Gillon - Kaipatiki Local Board

Thankyou to everyone who put in a submission on the proposed Freedom Camping in Vehicles Bylaw. The hearing panel is due to hold public deliberation sessions this Thursday, Friday and next Friday.
The analysis and submissions are now available to read online (documents for next Friday will be posted later):
www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz...
Attached are feedback summaries of some of our parks.

Some points of interest:
* The majority of submitters opposed the proposed non-self-contained freedom camping at the northern carpark at Little Shoal Bay (Dudding Park Sportsfield) that is prone to flooding
* The majority of submitters supported the proposal for self-contained freedom camping at the Mahara Ave carpark at Birkenhead War Memorial Park.
* 600 submitters signed pro-forma submission forms to oppose freedom camping at Onepoto Domain (although this is not reflected in the attached graphic).
* The majority of submitters supported the prohibition of freedom camping at Chelsea Estate Heritage park, Onepoto Domain, Hinemoa Park and the southern carparks at Little Shoal Bay.
