Freedom Camping Bylaw - Please Post Your Input
Hi All, just a reminder that the Freedom Camping Bylaw consultation is closing tomorrow.
This one is important, potentially costing us money as well as additional impact on our lives.
Please voice your views on nelson.govt.nz...
My own opinion:
- NOT a priority for our rates dollars.
- NOT acceptable anywhere in the city. The impact in noise and litter is huge.
Make the Brook Motorcamp, the largest Council-owned of its kind in the S. Island (or so I hear), the only place for freedom campers - AT A FEE to cover expense. User-pay, remember?
- Also remember, this group does not contribute significantly to our local economy, and we are not a charity. Most welcome to come and enjoy, but at their own expense. New Zealand is the farthest away from any of their home countries, and getting here is expensive. They can afford a few more dollars!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
