Stop Free Camping in Central Coast Council Reserves and Car Parks

The issue

The tranquilly of our public reserves and car parks in the Central Coast Council, NSW, Australia, is under threat due to the escalating problem of free camping. This not only compromises the aesthetic appeal of these areas but also poses risks to local wildlife, exacerbates littering issues, and leads to overcrowding. According to the Keep Australia Beautiful National Litter Index 2019–20, litter rates in parks have surged by 4.2% over the past year, largely attributed to free camping activities. It's time for our council to take decisive action to maintain cleanliness and preserve natural habitats. We've observed free campers occupying carparks and reserves for extended periods without intervention from council rangers. We implore you to support this petition urging the Central Coast Council to implement more regular patrols and stricter regulations prohibiting free camping in council reserves and car parks. Your signature can safeguard our cherished outdoor spaces for future generations.
