Tairawhiti Freedom Camping Areas 2021

This layer shows the Tairawhiti Freedom camping areas as prescribed in the Gisborne District Council Freedom Camping Bylaw 2021. The purpose of this bylaw is to regulate freedom camping in order to protect public access, public health and safety and the environment of the area, including the district’s beaches, dunes and rivers from harm. This bylaw achieves this purpose by: defining the areas in the district where freedom camping is restricted or prohibited; and providing for the restrictions that apply to freedom camping in areas where freedom camping is restricted so that while freedom camping in these areas is encouraged, the areas, access to the areas, and the health and safety of people who may visit the areas, are protected.
