The self-containment vehicle certification changes only apply to the Freedom Camping Act and vehicles camping 'FREE' on Local Authority Controlled land, LINZ land and some Department of Conservation Properties. The certification changes do not apply to private or commercial land, NZTA land not controlled by councils, park over properties, and private or public events or ANY paid camping.

If your vehicle has a portable toilet you may still get a self-containment certificate for staying on land or properties not covered by the Freedom Camping Act. This is your choice. If this is required by you please contact one of the NZLC testing officers (visit NZLC website - link above) or NZMCA
-
If you receive a new 'limited' self-containment certificate with a portable toilet the new law states you cannot stay on council controlled, LINZ or DOC land unless the area is designated for non self-contained vehicles including the permanent toilet requirement.
Please note that we are unaware of any councils enforcing the new law at this time.

Still unsure - Contact the experts at the MBIE Responsible Camping Team or your local council office.
Note: Having a Certified Self Contained Vehicle does not make you a responsible camper, but it can make it easier.
Many local and regional authorities now expect many motorhomes, caravans and campervans to be certified as self contained in order to stay at reserves and designated freedom camping areas.
Your vehicle must have been suitably and correctly set up for self containment and meet the requirement of the NZ Standard.
NZS5465:2001 incl. amendment 2.
In general the vehicle must be fit for habitation.
It must be able to meet the fresh water, waste and ablutionary needs of the occupants for a minimum period of three (3) days.
The waste system must be suitably sealed.
The toilet must be able to be used in the vehicle when required having sufficient head and shoulder room (with the beds made up).
NZ Lifestyle Camping in conjunction with and our team of suitably qualified testing officers can help you with this.
