FREEDOM CAMPERS MOVED ON FROM GOLDEN BAY RIVER SITE
Simpson left her Waitapu Bridge campsite earlier this week after learning that the site was sacred to local iwi who were opposed to turning it into a designated freedom camping site.
In a submission on the Tasman District Council draft Responsible Camping Strategy, Ngāti Tama ki te Waipounamu Trust said the site was a wāhi tapu (sacred site) and sensitive cultural area for Ngāti Tama.
