In Queenstown Lakes, which is the second-most popular area after the Tasman District for vehicle camping, Mayor Boult had regularly had locals ringing him with issues around vehicle camping. But there, with the help of Government funding, they set up both in Wānaka and in Queenstown a facility where people can have showers, do their washing, get free Wi-Fi for an hour, and a washstand for washing dishes. That meant that the vehicle campers were able to use these facilities and were less likely to be found trying to wash dishes in local toilets. There was much better engagement with Te Papa Atawhai—the Department of Conservation—because if councils ban vehicle camping from local reserves, they tend to go off down the road to our public conservation land.
