The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) are seeking feedback on whether to extend the transitional period for privately owned, self-contained vehicles in the Freedom Camping Act beyond 7 June 2025.

As the lead micro-economic agency, MBIE has an important role in supporting the Government to deliver its economic vision through an agreed comprehensive programme of work. To achieve this, we are working to lift our own productivity, find efficiencies and maintain strong fiscal discipline to provide greater value and higher levels of service for every dollar spent to achieve better public services.

The Strategic Science Investment Fund (SSIF) supports strategic investment in research programmes and scientific infrastructure that have long-term beneficial impact on New Zealand’s health, economy, environment and society.
