POURERERE BEACH

CAMPING IN PUBLIC AREAS

Central Hawkes Bay District Council in association with the 'Pourerere Beach Committee' will again be using a system of 'Pre-Registration Permits' for campers wishing to use designated 'Beach Camping' sites in public areas at Pourerere Beach. 

NO PERSON(s) will be permitted to 'Beach Camp' at Pourerere Beach without prior 'Permitted' approval from Council.  This applies at all times.

APPLICATIONS for a site during the period 21 December 2009 and 6 February 2010 (inclusive) for periods of up to 14 days duration must be made to Council by 4pm on Friday 16th October 2009.  Site allocations will be notified in writing to successful (and unsuccessful) applicants by Friday 6th November 2009.  PLEASE NOTE that if site applications exceed the available space, the allocating Committee reserves the right to reduce allocations to 7 days if required.  This may especially apply to the period 21 December 2009 to 18 January 2010.

EACH APPLICATION for a 'permit' during the above dates MUST be accompanied by the administration fee of $35 per permit.  Payment can be made by cheque with the application form if mailing or by cash or EFTPOS at the Council offices in Waipawa or Waipukurau when delivering an application in person. 

NO FEE : NO PROCESSING OF APPLICATION.

Due to the expected high demand an application may not necessarily result in a site allocation.  Unsuccessful applicants will have their 'administration fee' refunded.

Applications MUST include:

• Full name of applicant
• Full postal address of applicant
• Contact phone number for applicant
• Dates a site is required for (up to 14 days)
• Mode of camping (e.g. tent, caravan, camper-van etc)
• Number of adults & children in group

Application forms are available from the Council offices in Waipawa and Waipukurau, or you can download one here , or a letter containing the above information can be sent to the address below.  E-mail applications will be accepted at the e-mail address below providing the above information is included.  However e-mail applications will not be processed until the 'administration fee' set out above is received by Council.  

Applications should be addressed to:
