Surf’s not up

Shame Byron Bay, shame

The only places we pay for parking in Brisbane is in the inner city, in high density areas, and now one shopping centre (over 3 hours).

Broken Head used to be a favourite surf spot, not any more.

I just travelled the length of the NSW coast and you are the only town I saw which charges for surfing.

So very un-cool

Colin Tree, Brisbane

Editor’s note: Point of clarification, Colin. It is the National Parks and Wildlife Service that is responsible for these changes, not Byron Shire Council. National Parks charges for access to a number of beach carparks in the region, including Grays Lane, Tyagarah, which has been pay-parking for many years.
