16 Dec.]

CAMPING

  1. All persons wishing to camp in the park shall apply to
    the Commissioner or a Park Warden or Ranger or to an
    authorized person for assignment of camping sites, and shall
    pay such fees or charges as may from time to time be fixed
    by the Commissioner, and shall not change camp sites without
    permission from the Commissioner or a Park Warden or
    Ranger or other authorized person as aforesaid.
    The following conditions shall be strictly observed in
    connection with camp sites:

(a) Subject generally to the provisions of by-law No. 4
relating to fires, combustible rubbish must be burned
on camp fires, and all other garbage and refuse of
all kinds, including broken glass, bottles, tin cans,
etc., must be placed in garbage cans, if available, or
otherwise must be buried not less than 1 ft. deep by
the campers in a place hidden from sight.
(b) No person, whether camping in the park or otherwise
being therein, shall pollute in any manner the waters
of the park, nor bathe in any of the streams near
the regularly travelled thoroughfares in the park
without suitable bathing clothes.
(c) No person shall take any wood for fuel except from
dead trees or from trees which have been cut for that
purpose by park employees.
(d) No person shall remove, disturb, cut names, letters,
words, figures, or devices on, or deface any building,
gates, bridges, natural features, or trees, or any
object natural or otherwise, within the limits of the
park.
(e) No person shall in any building in the park act or use
the same otherwise than in a cleanly and decent
manner.

HUTS

  1. (a) Any person desiring the use of any huts or other
    buildings the property of the park and erected in the park
    shall apply to the Commissioner or a Park Warden or Ranger
    or to an authorized person, who may in his discretion grant
    to such applicant usage of the hut or building as he shall
    deem advisable, either exclusively or together with any other
    person or persons.
    (b) The restrictions on and conditions of usage of any such
    huts or buildings shall be as fixed by the Commissioner from
    time to time.
    (c) A Park Warden or Ranger or other park officer is
    empowered to terminate any usage of any such hut or building
    where the user has departed from the terms and conditions
    upon which usage was granted or where the user acts in such
    a manner as in the opinion of the Park Warden or Ranger or
    other park officer is likely to cause damage to park property
    or to give offence to other persons, or to cause them annoyance.
    (d) No person shall use, or attempt to use, any such hut or
    building without the permission of the Commissioner or a
    Park Warden or Ranger or of an authorized person.
    (e) Should any organization be empowered to erect any
    buildings for accommodation of its members within the park
    it shall be subject to the condition that if such accommodation
    is not in the opinion of the Commissioner being made reasonable
    able use of by such members, then other persons may be
    authorized by the Commissioner to make use of such accommodation
    under whatever conditions the Commissioner may
    determine.

FIRES

  1. No person shall light any fire, except at camping sites or
    picnic places, without the express permission of the Commissioner
    or a Park Warden or Ranger or of an authorized person.
    No person shall kindle a fire near trees or dead wood, moss,
    dry leaves, grass, tussock, forest mould, or other vegetation,
    but a fire may be lit in a specially prepared open place on
    rocks or earth. Should camps or picnic places be located in a
    locality where no such open place exists, or is provided, any
    dead wood, moss, dry leaves, grass, tussock, forest mould, or
    other vegetation must be scraped away down to the rock or
    earth over an area considerably larger than that required for
    the fire. Fires shall be lighted only when necessary, and when
    no longer needed shall be completely extinguished by covering
    all embers and the bed with earth and water so that there
    remains no possibility of the fire reviving.
    No person shall light a fire in any position where it is
    likely to present a fire hazard.
    Once a fire is lit, the person lighting the fire, or such other
    person as is detailed by him, shall remain in attendance on
    the fire until it is completely extinguished.
    No match (lighted or not lighted), cigarette, or other
    lighted matter shall be dropped, thrown, or otherwise placed
    in any grass or other inflammable material.
    Nothing in this by-law shall exempt an offender from
    liability under the National Parks Act 1952 or any other Act
    with respect to the lighting of fires.

TRADING AND INTOXICATING LIQUORS

  1. No person shall reside permanently, engage in any
    business, sell or offer for sale any article or food or merchandise,
    intoxicating liquor, or any kind of drink, or carry on
    any other pursuit or calling within the park without the
    written consent of the Commissioner given subject to such
    terms and conditions as he deems fit.

MISBEHAVIOUR

  1. Within the park no person shall wilfully obstruct, disturb,
    or interfere with any other person in the use or enjoyment of
    the park, or use foul, abusive, indecent, or obscene language,
    or be intoxicated, noisy, or riotous, or in any way misbehave.

ANIMALS

  1. No person shall take any dog or cat into the park
    without the written permission of the Commissioner, or
    abandon in the park any dog, cat, or animal.

NOTICES

  1. No person shall interfere with any placard, sign, or
    notice erected by the Commissioner in or relating to the park.

AIRCRAFT

  1. No person shall make use of any part of the park for the
    purpose of the landing thereon or flying therefrom of any
    aeroplane or of any kind of aircraft or glider, except in case
    of emergency or in accordance with the prior written permission
    of the Commissioner.

ENTRY INTO SPECIAL AREAS

  1. For the purposes of this by-law a special area means
    the special area under section 11 of the National Parks Act
    1952 or a special area set apart by the Governor-General under
    section 12 of the National Parks Act 1952.
    No person shall enter a special area except with the written
    permission of the Commissioner, given subject to such terms
    and conditions as he deems fit. Every such permit shall include
    the following particulars and conditions:
  2. The duration of the permit shall be specifically stated
    therein.
  3. The names of all persons covered by the permit shall be
    set out.
  4. The area covered by the permit shall be specified therein.
  5. No permit shall include a right to camp or remain
    overnight or light camp fires unless the permit so states.
  6. Each permit shall be revocable at the pleasure of the
    Commissioner.

GENERAL

  1. Nothing in these by-laws shall be deemed to limit or
    prevent the taking of proceedings under any Act in respect
    of any offence committed within the park.
    The foregoing by-laws were made by resolution of the
    National Parks Authority at its meeting held at Wellington
    on the 16th day of June 1954.
