The new zones will also improve the booking system, he said. Campers can now choose a zone they wish to camp in. Previously, campers applied for a camping permit but were unable to pre-book their preferred location. Instead, they were issued a permit to camp along a 14km section of beach wherever they managed to find a spot. New camping zones have been introduced to Teewah Beach. The spokesman said the new rules would also allow seasonal rotation and temporary closures of camping zones for maintenance and management of potential environmental risks. Some areas of the beach were at a high risk to rock falls from eroding dunes, the spokesman said.
