📄 Template: Local Council Submission – Naturist Access Zones
Purpose:
To formally propose to a local council the creation of clothing-optional or naturist access zones, such as designated beaches, walking trails, reserves, or secluded parklands — framed as a sustainable, respectful, and lawful community initiative.
🏛️ Template Text (Editable Submission Format)
To: [Mayor / General Manager / Council Body Name]
From: [Your Name or Organisation]
Date: [Insert Date]
Subject: Submission for Consideration – Creation of Clothing-Optional / Naturist Access Zones in [Region]
Dear [Mayor/Councillors/General Manager],
I am writing on behalf of [insert name of individual/group/organisation] to formally propose the creation and legal recognition of clothing-optional zones within the [insert council/region name] for the purposes of responsible, non-sexual naturist recreation.
Naturism, or social nudity in nature, is a globally recognised cultural and lifestyle practice with a strong emphasis on body acceptance, environmental harmony, and mental well-being. Currently, however, there are few if any safe or legally sanctioned spaces in [insert region] where such activities can be freely enjoyed without risk of misunderstanding or punitive action.
🔹 Proposal Summary:
We propose the following:
Designation of one or more areas (beaches, trails, or reserves) within council jurisdiction as clothing-optional spaces.
Signage and boundary indicators to ensure transparency and informed public use.
Clear behavioural expectations, aligned with NaturismRE’s Code of Conduct and existing council regulations.
Optional: Shared hours or days of clothing-optional access, if full-time designation is not immediately feasible.
Consultation with law enforcement and local residents, ensuring community-informed implementation.
🔹 Benefits to the Community:
✅ Encourages outdoor activity and mental/physical health
✅ Supports body positivity and inclusivity for all ages and abilities
✅ Reduces risk of conflict by creating clear, designated zones
✅ Eco-tourism and economic benefit from naturist visitors
✅ Frees up law enforcement and council resources from pursuing non-criminal nudity reports
We are not proposing the removal of clothing requirements everywhere — only the introduction of specific, optional-use zones that reflect both community diversity and evolving cultural values. Similar initiatives in [New Zealand, Germany, France, and select Australian councils] have been successfully implemented for decades without incident.
Naturism is not about exhibitionism or indecency — it is about respect, natural living, and peaceful coexistence. We hope [Council Name] will consider becoming a leader in body-freedom and progressive recreational policy.
We would welcome the opportunity to present this proposal formally or engage in community consultation.
Sincerely,
[Full Name]
[Address or Postcode]
[Email Address]
[Organisation Name if applicable]
[Contact Number – optional]
