Fears a proposed bylaw to combat freedom camping in the Queenstown Lakes District could be a headache for Kiwis.
The new bylaw goes before councillors this week and proposes 15 designated freedom camping sites for the district following a surge in freedom campers.
People freedom camping in other areas could face fines of at least $400.
New Zealand Motor Caravan Association's James Imlach says there was consultation from the council, but it wasn鈥檛 done well enough to get a plan that both protects the community and allows law-abiding people to camp in the district without causing harm.
He told Mike Hosking it seems to have been a bit of a token gesture, as the proposed bylaw is very similar to what they鈥檝e been trying to push for a number of years, and it seems like the council鈥檚 just trying to find a new way to get the same outcome.
