Tyagarah Beach, a secluded 800-meter (875-yard) stretch of beachfront north of Byron Bay, has been the topic of heated debate in recent weeks.
The beach, long loved by naturists from Australia and around the world, is part of the Tyagarah Nature Reserve and maintained by the New South Wales state government.
“Nude recreation is a legitimate way of life,” Benham wrote.
In 2018, a similar measure was rejected by the Shire Council and CCTV cameras were installed as a compromise.
“I’ve been nude bathing on Byron Shire beaches since I was a child in the 70s and 80s,” Benham told 9 News.
