Freedom Camping Bylaw Development

Resolution number AE/2018/230

MOVED by Deputy Chairperson G Fryer, seconded by Member B Lee:

That the Albert-Eden Local Board:

a) Confirms to the Regulatory Committee its general views on the management of freedom camping as follows:

i. Freedom camping is inappropriate and not supported in any parks and carparks in the Albert-Eden Local Board area because there is high demand on those parks and carparks, current significant issues with competing use, the majority are small neighbourhood parks and in close proximity to intensive residential areas

ii. Enforcement of current legacy freedom camping and other bylaws is grossly insufficient

iii. All areas requiring high protection, including areas assessed as low desirability, should be prohibited

iv. Our experience demonstrates that self-contained and non-self-contained campers creates negative impacts on the park and the surrounding neighbourhood

v. The evidential requirements under the Freedom Camping Act are comparable to the recent reassessment of alcohol bans, which were problematic for the local board.
