PLANNING Minister Rob Hulls has told Wyndham City Council it will need to undertake community consultation before it considers revoking the status of Werribee South’s nudist beach.

“I believe that it would be imprudent to proceed further without appropriate local consultation being undertaken,� Mr Hulls said in a letter to Wyndham mayor Shane Bourke.

The council wants Mr Hulls to overturn the clothing optional status along the narrow and isolated stretch of sand, known as Campbells Cove, to make the coastline more tourist and family friendly.

As part of its $1.7 million Werribee South Boatshed Precint Improvement Plan over the next 10 years, the council wants to make the area more accessible and user friendly to the public.

In July, the council spent $250,000 undertaking weed removal and resurfacing the road that leads to Campbells Cove and the controversial boat sheds.

However, nudists are outraged over the proposal and have put forward objections to the Planning Department and the council.

They believe the area has been neglected long enough, and are grateful for the new amenities.

One Campbells Cove beach goer, Rob, said he would like to thank council for the improvements after more than “20 years of inexplicable neglect�.

“I hope that it will now become a cornerstone of Wyndham’s push to attract a leisure market that has previously been both neglected and underestimated,� he said.

The Mornington Peninsula and Surf Coast Shires have also put in similar revoke requests, and they have received similar replies.

Victoria’s nudists could be stripped of all but one public beach if Campbells Cove, Point Impossible and Southside Beach have their clothing optional status removed.

Sunny Side North in Mt Eliza would become the state’s only public nude beach.

Under the 1983 Nudity Act, the Planning Minister has the power to deem an area clothing optional – and to revoke its status – after consultation with a council.

Mr Hulls has requested the Wyndham City Council to provide details of its strategic planning and directions for the area.

The council will also have to provide details of the level of consultation to date with local communities and affected stakeholders.
