Freedom Camping in Vehicles Bylaw hearings

John Gillon from John Gillon - Kaipatiki Local Board

Yesterday I attended the the Freedom Camping in Vehicles Bylaw hearing panel deliberations as they discussed the large amount of public feedback on the various proposals.
Discussions included:
* accepting the proposed prohibited areas at Onepoto Domain and Chelsea Estate Heritage Park;
* extending the proposed prohibited area at Hinemoa Park;
* accepting the proposed self-contained freedom camping area at Birkenhead War Memorial Park (Mahara Ave carpark);
* moving the proposed non-self-contained freedom camping area at Little Shoal Bay (Dudding Park Sportsfield carpark) a little further south from the frequently flooded area. This proposal is to be discussed again later.

Deliberations continue next Friday, before recommendations are made back to the Regulatory Committee, after which the bylaw will be voted on by councillors.
The hearing panel members are: Clr Linda Cooper, Clr Penny Hulse, and IMSB Member Hon. Tau Henere.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

At the post-Cabinet press conference, the National Party asserted they want public sector staff to return to the office. This has opened a conversation about other sectors in New Zealand who have adopted working from home (WFH).

Where possible, do you think employees should be able to work from home? Vote below and share your thoughts in the comments.
