Council answers residents' pleas to ban freedom campers from seaside suburb
Freedom camping has been banned in a seaside Christchurch suburb following pleas from residents fed up with messy campers.
Southshore residents are hoping bylaw changes approved by the Christchurch City Council last week will put an end to freedom campers parking outside their homes and leaving a trail of urine-filled bottles, rubbish and condoms behind.
The council had proposed to include Southshore in a new coastal zone that allowed freedom camping in self-contained campers for up to four nights out of 30. The move was designed to get rid of a loophole that allowed campers to stay in the area for more than 24 nights without breaching the bylaw.
The new zone was approved but Southshore was excluded, and all freedom camping would be prohibited from Caspian St south from December 1.
