Poll: Should we encourage freedom camping as a means to boost Auckland tourism?

Reporter North Shore Times

Reserves and public car parks around Auckland are likely to be opened up to freedom campers, as Auckland Council moves to meet its responsibilities under the 2011 Freedom Camping Act by creating freedom camping zones on council-owned land. Legacy bylaws, restricting freedom camping, are up for review. And, while new bylaws are being drafted, more sites will open up for freedom campers. What do you think?
