$81,800 in camper fines

The Queenstown Lakes District Council has taken in $81,800 from 1364 infringement notices issued to freedom campers not obeying its bylaw.

Meanwhile, submissions on proposed changes to the council's freedom camping bylaw closed on Friday, with 10 received.

Community services general manager Paul Wilson said six supported the bylaw, two opposed it, and two were neutral responses which asked for constructive wording changes.

A hearing would be held early next month to review the submissions.
