Coromandel Freedom Camping Compliance Confusion - a little rant

This is an opinion piece and I stand to be corrected on any point.

I will enhance my opinion as I lie in bed mulling the injustice's of this world, and update this as required.

That being said don't quote this rant as being a definitive précis of the situation.

The Thames Coromandel District Council has created a head ache for themselves, its residents and for campers.
It's not clear to me how the whole sorry tale got going but one may suspect that absentee super bach owners, hippy freedom campers, mobile population pressure with huge volumes of campervans have all caused a maelstrom which is at best now hard to untangle.
If one was to be sympathetic to the issues one might say the TCDC's controls on freedom camping is still a work in progress and can only improve. Particularly in view of the court ruling bought down in Nov 2014. A situation that put them on the back foot over Xmas with so much signage plastered everywhere.

My points of contention are.

Confusing and ambiguous signage.(which should largely now be obsolete)
The need to download 60 pages of bylaws
Still more than one version of bylaws on line.
The handing out of information pamphlets still promulgating old bylaws.
(this could be viewed as clever massaging of unwanted campers)

Admittedly when it is sorted it will open flood gates and it will need to be controlled?? The waterfront properties over the Coromandel that have been able to restrict the use of public  reserve for so long will be affronted for the 3 weeks and long weekends when they can drag themselves down to their exclusive baches and lord over their views. That view will plagued by white campers vans(and occasional colourful bus) all legally able to park up if suitably equipped and certified.

It is disappointing to observe the near empty  developments at prime locations with absolute parking restrictions (at best very prescriptive parking locations). These areas deserve to be open to all during the whole year and not the exclusive domain of the wealthy people who are seldom there. This is not the Kiwi way.
