55058 (2025). Hon Priyanca Radhakrishnan to the Minister of Conservation: How, if at all, will breaches by tourists at the three parking fee pilot sites of Punakaiki, Franz Josef and Aoraki Mt Cook be followed up?

Hon Tama Potaka: The Department of Conservation’s parking service provider Stellar will manage issuing of breach notices. A breach notice is issued to a vehicle following identification of non-payment through a camera system that is then verified by a human operator. All breach notices can be appealed and an online system is provided to allow for this. Car park payment conditions will be clearly communicated at each site. A breach notice relies on debt collection for enforceability.
