Clothing optional area to close at Tyagarah Nature Reserve

Following extensive consultation and careful consideration, the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) will close the Clothing-Optional Area (COA) within Tyagarah Nature Reserve by 30 August 2024.

A recent stakeholder workshop was held during March which included representatives from NSW Police, local businesses, community associations and naturist groups, and no viable alternative locations for the Clothing-Optional Area were identified.

NPWS has requested that Byron Shire Council extend the permissibility of the Clothing-Optional Area from 30 June 2024 to 30 August 2024, which will allow appropriate notification for the naturist community.
