Freedom Camping (Infringement Offences and Other Matters) Amendment Bill Member’s Bill Explanatory note General policy statement Freedom camping has a long history in New Zealand – lots of Kiwis and many of our international visitors love it.

New Zealand is primarily a touring destination, and free‐ dom camping is one of the many ways that people choose to experience our country.

But there are a lot more people freedom camping than there used to be and this has created some issues.
New Zealanders are understandably frustrated by the poor behaviour of some freedom campers.
This bill updates freedom camping legislation to make it easier to crack down on some of the poor behaviour and make the rules more consistent and easier for people to follow: • • • • • It retains the current definition of freedom camping in the Freedom Camping Act: Freedom camping should remain an option for New Zealanders and overseas visitors, but with more consistent restrictions: Non-self-contained freedom camping will be restricted to areas within 200 metres of toilet facilities: Additional government organisations will have powers to restrict freedom camping on land that they control or manage: Stronger enforcement of fines for those breaking the rules.
Clause 1 is the title clause.

Clause by clause analysis 52—1 2 Freedom Camping (Infringement Offences and Other Matters) Amendment Bill Explanatory note Clause 2 provides for the Bill to come into force 6 months after it receives the Royal assent.

Clause 3 identifies the Freedom Camping Act 2011 as the Act being amended by the Bill (the principal Act).

Clause 4 amends section 3 of the principal Act to provide the extension of the Act’s regime to land administered by LINZ and NZTA.
Clause 6 inserts new sections 7A and 7B to define the land administered by LINZ and NZTA that the Bill will apply to.

Clauses 8 and 10 prohibit freedom camping in areas that are not within 200 metres of a public toilet, except where a self-contained vehicle is being used.

Clause 11 inserts new subparts 3 and 4 to Part 2 of the principal Act to provide for regulation of freedom camping on land administered by LINZ and NZTA.
Clause 15 replaces section 28 of the principal Act, with a new section 28, which pro‐ vides for an accelerated infringement notice procedure for infringement offences under the Act, and a new section 28A that requires an enforcement officer to transfer an infringement notice issued to the hirer of a vehicle to the rental company with which the hirer has or had a rental service agreement where the hirer does not pay the infringement fee immediately.
Clause 20 inserts new sections 33A and 33B into the principal Act to provide for the appointment of enforcement officers by LINZ and NZTA.

Clause 22 inserts a new section 36A into the principal Act to give enforcement offi‐ cers the power to enter and inspect a vehicle that the officer has reasonable grounds to believe is being used for freedom camping in an area that is more than 200 metres from a public toilet to determine whether the freedom camping is being undertaken using a self-contained vehicle.
