Rural Queenstown residents are up in arms over council plans to put freedom camping sites in their neighbourhood reserves.
City Hall’s investigating options to locate sites around the Whakatipu, including at White
chapel, near Arrowtown, and Morven Ferry.
But neighbours are worried there’ll be a repeat of issues seen at Lake Hayes a few years ago if they go ahead.
Queenstown council’s community services general manager Thunes Cloete says on the council’s website staff assessed all potential sites in the district, before issuing a survey to get a feel for issues before more formal consultation starts.
