MDC is reviewing our Responsible Freedom Camping Bylaw. This was last reviewed in 2016 so we are looking to ensure it meets the needs of our residents, visitors, and communities, while also bringing it into line with national best practice and government direction.
Recent changes regarding freedom camping laws mean our current rules are outdated. The Self-contained Motor Vehicles Legislation Act 2023 has been passed into law by government. This means there are some nation-wide changes to where people can freedom camp, the meaning of ‘self-contained vehicle’, and changes to infringement fees and fines.
Reviewing our bylaw will ensure we stay aligned with this new legislation and manage responsible camping within the Mackenzie District, while ensuring we protect the things that make the Mackenzie District special for our visitors and residents. That is why we value the input from our residents to help inform any changes being made.
