New Zealand's self-contained vehicle certification system changes

From June 7, blue self-containment warrants for freedom camping will no longer be valid. Vehicle owners must switch to the new green warrant system by June 6. Camping on public land without a green warrant may result in a $400 infringement notice. The transition period, which began in December 2023, ends with over 68,000 vehicles already certified under the new system.
