Welcome to the “COUNCILS REPLIES “. In this section you will find replies supporting the Bill, replies in which councils do not want anything to do/ support the Bill and the third list will be populated by councils not replying.

NRE has emphasised : The bill aims to provide clarity on what is legally acceptable across Australia, ensuring consistency, fairness, and progressive policy-making. It is bigger than any one council or individual perspective.

Furthermore, this bill presents significant opportunities for economic growth, particularly in regional and rural areas where designated clothing-optional spaces can create jobs, attract domestic and international tourism, and support local businesses. Naturism-friendly locations in Australia and overseas have demonstrated clear economic benefits, and refusing to even consider this bill suggests a narrow-minded approach that ignores potential advantages for the entire country.

We urge the councils to think beyond their own jurisdiction and consider how supporting this bill could benefit Australians as a whole—not just today, but in the future.
