A few minor changes have been made to the parking system for Kiwiburn 2023. The idea behind this is to ‘declutter’ the Paddock as much as possible, allowing more room for camping and activities.
- This year, we’re implementing a ‘no driving on the Paddock after dark’ rule. The Gate closes at 10pm on Wednesday, and earlier from Thursday onwards, so there’s really only an hour or so when this is important (full Gate hours).
- If you arrive after dark, you’ll be asked to park up immediately and carry your gear to your camping spot – no exceptions.
- There will be a camping spot next to parking for anyone who wants to camp up for the night and then move the next day.
- During daylight hours, cars may be driven slowly across the Paddock (with hazards on) to unload gear, however, they then need to be moved back to the parking area.
- Cars may not be kept on the Paddock as storage units, even for Theme Camps. This will be monitored closely by the Parking team.
- Only vehicles that are being slept in may stay on the Paddock in designated camping and Theme Camp areas.
The Parking team are working hard to ensure the maximum number of cars can fit into the parking area without anyone being blocked in. Please follow the instructions and park thoughtfully. If you arrive early on Friday or Saturday, you are expected to be able to follow the system and park sensibly, on your own, in the designated parking area.
