Why did I get a ticket and can I appeal?
The Freedom Camping Act 2011 and the Local Government Act 2002 allow for legal action with consequent fines for breaching Council's Freedom Camping Bylaw.
Our enforcement officers issue infringement notices if people are found to be non-compliant with the rules, however officers can use discretion.
Some of the reasons why we issue infringement notices include:
- freedom camping in a prohibited area
- freedom camping in a restricted area in breach of the conditions that apply to that area
- causing damage to an area - its flora or fauna, or any structure
- depositing waste other than in an appropriate waste receptacle.
If you've been given an infringement notice and think you've been unfairly fined, you can make an appeal, within 28 days of issue of the ticket, using the form you can download here - Infringement Appeal Form(PDF, 65KB). You can send it in via email to customer.services@tcdc.govt.nz or by mail:
