Freedom camping consultation

A draft bylaw that defines the number of sites across Auckland where freedom camping is allowed is out for consultation.

Council has assessed more than 1000 council-controlled sites, which has led to the inclusion of 422 sites, including 43 in Rodney, where freedom camping is proposed to be prohibited or restricted.

Under the draft bylaw, enforcement officers will be able to issue a $200 infringement fine to anyone who breaches a prohibition or restriction.

Consultation closes on February 18.
