BYRON SHIRE COUNCIL

Local Traffic Committee Meeting 6.2

Report No. 6.2 Northern Beaches Illegal Camping

File No: I2024/1215

Council have received community complaints in relation to illegal camping occurring near the beach areas in South Golden Beach, New Brighton and Ocean Shores.

At the northern end of the shire illegal camping enforcement is practically non-existent due to lack of signage. Because of this, these areas do not get patrolled often unless Council receives complaints. However, as parking restrictions are increasing in Byron Bay and Brunswick Heads, these quieter areas will become more popular with campers, particularly as it gets warmer. Introducing parking signage prior to the busy holiday season should help prevent further community complaints.
