A proposal to look for a site for a nude beach in Byron Shire will come before Byron Council on August 15.
I hope Council has listened to past complaints from Tyagarah residents and will consider the ramifications of putting it in another isolated place which has in the past attracted deviate behaviour. If a nude beach is to go ahead, Council needs to take responsibility for funding and patrolling the area. It also needs to be easily accessible to police.
I sincerely thank Michael Lyon for his consistent support and his understanding of trauma suffered by Tyagarah residents. The truth is it was the female councillors who continued to ignore the distress and safety of women at Tyagarah.
