Council inaction over illegal camping at North Shore beaches has been revealed to be part of a region-wide backlog of complaints to Auckland Council. More than 1500 complaints about bylaw breaches are awaiting a response from the council as it struggles to cope with high staff
turnover, floods and protests. Devonport-Takapuna Local Board chair Ruth Jackson detailed the backlog in making a presentation to the council’s regulatory committee. Along with the Kaipatiki and Hibiscus and Bays boards, Devonport-Takapuna wants
better enforcement of council bylaws covering matters such as illegal camping, noise and dog control, pollution run-off and rubbish dumping. Illegal camping was an issue in the board area over summer, most noticeably at Castor Bay and around Devonport. To page 2
