Automated compliance for the NZMCA Parks network.
Cameras read a plate at a park entrance. Custodian decides — in real time — whether that vehicle is a financial member, self-contained, paid up and within its stay. It surfaces the status to hosts and the National Office, and nudges members automatically instead of asking volunteers to confront anyone.

The whole value loop, in one click
On the dashboard, press Simulate arrival — a plate reads in, the engine decides, and a colour-coded alert with an auto-drafted member reminder appears.
1. Read
Camera reads the plate at the gate.
2. Decide
Member? CSC valid? Fee paid? Within max stay?
3. Surface
Green / Amber / Red to hosts + office.
4. Nudge
Member reminded automatically — no confrontation.
Built around the pains in your Board Report
Volunteer burnout
Park Custodians manually checking IDs and chasing fees.
The platform checks every plate automatically and nudges members itself — no confrontation.
Fee leakage
Members not paying the $5/night park fee.
Unpaid stays are flagged the moment a plate is read, with a one-tap payment reminder.
Non-member access
Non-members using member-exclusive parks.
Any plate not matched to a financial member is surfaced instantly.
Non-self-contained vehicles
Expired or missing CSC warrants.
Self-containment is checked against warrant expiry on every arrival.
Fairness & integrity
Rules applied inconsistently across sites.
The same rules run at every park, every time — consistent and auditable.
Overstays
Vehicles beyond the 10-nights-in-30-days limit.
Max-stay is tracked automatically, with a gentle heads-up before the limit.
What it's worth
Move the sliders to your own numbers — recovered fees plus the volunteer time it gives back.

How we'd build the real thing
Architecture
A clean repository + integration layer that sits on top of your LPR hardware and member database — swap either without touching the compliance logic.
Privacy Act 2020
ANPR data treated as personal information: purpose limitation, retention, an immutable audit trail and versioned member consent — built in, not bolted on.
Support & continuity
Real tests, documented handover, and a support model designed so the platform outlives any one person — de-risking the build for a member-funded org.
A phased rollout, alongside your cameras
- Step 1
Discovery
A short scoped phase: confirm the rules, integrate your member data, agree the privacy model.
- Step 2
Pilot — Ardmore
Prove it end-to-end at the trial site already running LPR.
- Step 3
Regional
Roll out park-by-park alongside the camera installs.
- Step 4
National
The full network on one consistent compliance layer.
Get in first — a short discovery, then a working pilot.
This is the software layer your Board Report calls for, built to sit on top of the cameras you've trialled. The demo is the proposal — explore it, then let's talk.
