Pitching a tent on private land not okay
Many listeners were shocked to learn landholders were required to obtain a permit from the local council if someone camped or parked a caravan on private land for more than three days.
"I think that is ridiculous," talkback caller Cheryl said.
"People for generations have been going to stay with their relatives and parking their caravans in the driveway and there haven’t been any health and safety issues."
Ms Siekierka defended the rules, saying the law was not new but many people were unaware of it.
"[Stopping at private homes] impacts on the neighbours, and we need to look at whether there are waste facilities and whether it is safe for those people to be there," she said.
"Where are they getting their water from? Where is their waste going, what toilet facilities have they got?"
