Public meetings are being held on the West Coast, Queenstown and Christchurch from Tuesday, April 20, to support the government’s freedom camping consultation.
Online webinars are also available.
“The public meetings are a good opportunity for people to get information and ask questions in person,” says manager tourism policy, MBIE, Danielle McKenzie.
“We’re also holding webinars for those who are unable to attend a meeting.”
Information including a one-page summary, discussion document Supporting Sustainable Freedom Camping in Aotearoa New Zealand, and an online survey, are available on the Have Your Say section of the MBIE website.
“I would encourage people to visit the MBIE website so they know what the proposals are, and can provide feedback on areas of interest.”
Further information can be found at: www.mbie.govt.nz/freedom-camping-consultation.
Submissions can be made through MBIE’s online survey, by email or mail and close on Sunday, May 16.
