Last year Auckland Council abandoned its first attempt to create a Freedom Camping in Vehicles bylaw, and started over again.

The bylaw’s aim was to enable proactive management and enforcement of freedom camping in Auckland.

A new bylaw must be in place before October 2022, although Council had hoped to have it in force this summer. Last week Council advised the paper in a statement that work is ongoing to develop a new Freedom Camping in Vehicles Bylaw.

“We are aiming to report proposed next steps and a timeline to the Governing Body early next year,” the statement said.
