Illustration for National Parks Act 1980

This schedule lists bylaws that have been revoked for various national parks in New Zealand. These bylaws used to set rules for different activities and behaviours in the parks.

The list includes bylaws for many national parks, such as Abel Tasman, Arthur Pass, Egmont, Fiordland, Mount Aspiring, Mount Cook, Nelson Lakes, Tongariro, Urewera, and Westland. These bylaws covered a wide range of topics, including general park rules, the use of vehicles and aircraft, spotlighting, competitive sports, and the operation of cableways and generators.

Each bylaw in the list is paired with a reference to the New Zealand Gazette where it was originally published. The Gazette references span from 1954 to 1980, showing that these bylaws were created and enforced over several decades before being revoked.
