Freedom Camping Act 2011

Where freedom camping permitted - Freedom camping in local authority areas

14: Application of Local Government Act 2002 to bylaws

You could also call this:

“How the rules for making and changing local laws apply to freedom camping laws”

The Local Government Act 2002 applies to bylaws made under the Freedom Camping Act 2011, just like it does for bylaws made under other laws. This means that the rules in the Local Government Act 2002 about how to make, change, and enforce bylaws also apply to freedom camping bylaws. However, if there’s anything in the Freedom Camping Act 2011 that says something different, then that specific rule in the Freedom Camping Act 2011 will be the one to follow instead.
