In the 2018/19 summer season, about 60 $200 infringements were issued around Te Anau. However, because of the Covid-19 pandemic, freedom camper numbers are down and compliance has been high with no need to issue infringements this year, Sarfaiti says in the report. The Catlins ambassador suggests freedom camper numbers are about a third of what they were the previous year, Sarfaiti says. Ambassadors, funded by the Tourism Infrastructure Fund, travel around making sure people follow the council’s rules. The Tourism Infrastructure Fund paid for three ambassadors this season and the council shared their services with the Department of Conservation.
