ANTA (OZNTA ) - (Australian Naturist Trails Alliance): Paving the Way for Naturist Trails in Australia and Beyond

Paving the Way for Clothing-Optional Trails in Australia & Beyond

The Australian Naturist Trails Alliance (ANTA) — also known as OZNTA — is a pioneering advocacy initiative dedicated to campaigning for naturist-friendly trails in national parks and public lands.

Our vision is simple yet revolutionary: to one day give naturists the legal and social freedom to reconnect with nature, unclothed and unburdened.

At present, no official naturist trails exist in Australia. ANTA’s role is to advocate, petition, and build public and government support so that such trails may be considered in the future.

🌿 Why ANTA Exists
For decades, naturists in Australia have been restricted mainly to beaches and private clubs. We believe it is time to expand opportunities in a respectful and sustainable way.

Naturism is not just about nudity — it is about wellness, freedom, and harmony with nature. ANTA promotes:

  • Body positivity

  • Mental health and stress reduction

  • Freedom of expression

  • Nature conservation

  • Sustainable tourism

By advocating for officially recognised clothing-optional trails, ANTA seeks to create new ways for people to experience the wild: freely and naturally.

🧩 Legal Pathway: Section 633
A little-known clause in the NSW Local Government Act 1993 — Section 633 — allows councils to designate public spaces as clothing-optional.

While not yet applied to trails, this clause establishes a precedent for localised, council-approved naturist areas. ANTA’s work involves:

  • Proposing official clothing-optional hiking trails,

  • Opening dialogue with councils and park authorities,

  • Establishing national precedent for naturist access,

  • Protecting naturist rights through legal clarity.

Combined with the philosophical and cultural recognition of naturism, this strategy creates a pathway for future reform.

🗺️ Our Plan in Action (Vision for the Future)

  • Phase 1 – New South Wales: Begin discussions with councils and NPWS to explore a pilot naturist trail in a remote or low-traffic area.

  • Phase 2 – National Expansion: Once proven viable, extend proposals to Victoria, QLD, WA, and beyond.

  • Phase 3 – Global Inspiration: Share the Australian framework with international naturist communities, making ANTA a model for reform worldwide.

  • Working with local councils and legal experts to create workable proposals,

  • Collaborating with NaturismRE, Naturis Sancta, and like-minded groups to amplify cultural change,
