CAMPING

2. The provisions of this bylaw shall apply to any overnight stay in the park outside the Totaranui Camping Ground, other than in huts.

Persons wishing to camp in the park may do so provided that the site chosen is suitable as regards the safe lighting of fires, and the disposal of human wastes.

However, a ranger may at his discretion refuse people the use of a site selected for camping if he considers that due to fire risk or other special considerations, the site is unsuitable.

The following conditions shall be strictly observed in connection with camping:

(a) Subject generally to the provisions of bylaw No. 4 relating to fires, combustible rubbish may be burned on camp fires and unless garbage facilities are available, all other rubbish must be removed by the campers from the park.

(b) No person shall pollute in any way the waters of the park.

(c) No person shall cut any wood for fuel unless it is driftwood or has been provided by an authorised person.

(d) No person shall remove, disturb, cut into, or deface any facility, natural feature, vegetation, or any object, natural, or otherwise, within the limits of the park.

(e) No person in the park shall act or use facilities in the park otherwise than in a cleanly or decent manner.

(f) No person may stay at any camping site for more than 2 nights in succession except by permission of a ranger. This clause shall not apply to Totaranui Camping Ground.

(g) A ranger or other authorised person is empowered to direct large camping groups to a specific location if he considers such direction necessary to reduce impact (visual, grass damage etc.) on a camping area.

HUTS

3. (a) Huts are available for use by the general public and a hut fee, fixed from time to time by the board, will be charged for hut use.

(b) No person may stay in any hut for more than 2 nights in succession, except by permission of a ranger.

(c) A ranger or other authorised person is empowered to terminate usage of any hut where the user acts in a manner (in the opinion of the ranger or authorised person) likely to offend other people, cause them annoyance, or likely to cause damage to the hut.

(d) Should any organisation be empowered to erect any building for accommodation of its members within the park it shall be subject to terms and conditions as the board may determine.

(e) No person, except in (d) above, shall claim exclusive possession of a hut.

(f) No dogs, whether under permit or otherwise, are allowed in huts or shall be overnighted under huts. They must be securely tied up away from a hut if a hunting party is staying overnight.

FIRES

4. (a) Persons lighting fires, whether in places provided by the board or not, shall be responsible for seeing that the fire is confined to the site of lighting and ultimately is properly extinguished. Wood shall be from driftwood or supplies provided for this purpose.

(b) No person shall be exempt from the conditions of any total fire ban which may from time to time be imposed on the park.

(c) Nothing in this bylaw 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

5. 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 board given subject to such terms and condition as it deems fit.

MISBEHAVIOUR

6. 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

7. No person shall take any dog, cat, or other domestic animal into the park without the written permission of the board or rangers, or abandon in the park any dog, cat, or animal.

A ranger or an authorised person is empowered to destroy any dog or cat found in the park without authority and not being under proper control.

NOTICES

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

No person except a ranger or other authorised person shall post any placard, bill, poster, notice, or sign within the park without the prior written permission of the board.

AIRCRAFT AND VEHICLES

9. No person shall make use of any part of the park whether land or water for the purpose of landing or alighting thereon or the flying therefrom of aircraft of any kind (including aeroplanes, helicopters, gliders, and balloons) except in accordance with written permission previously obtained from the board, but this bylaw shall not apply at public licensed aerodromes or Government civil aerodromes in the park or in cases of emergency.

The requirement for written permission of the board may be waived in such cases as the board may nominate at its discretion but this does not absolve persons from compliance with any requirements that the Director of Civil Aviation may stipulate.

The board shall be entitled at any time to prohibit the entry by the public to any part or parts of the park the use of which as aerodromes or landing grounds is permitted by the board.
