Surf Coast Shire meeting - early comments
On April 29, representatives from the Surf Coast Shire, police, community, and the nudist community met to conduct the follow-up workshop 12 months after the original workshop to discuss the clothing optional classification of Point Impossible. To refresh your memories, check back through the archive on this site!!
Anyway, it only took a couple of days but already the media (in this case, the Geelong Independent) was talking to people before any official statements were released by the Surf Coast Shire. Nothing exciting this time around, although it would appear one of the MANY suggestions to come out of the meeting seemed to really grab attention!!

In summary, the workshop came up with many comments and suggestions about ways to improve the beach so that it (like many beaches) can be used by all community groups to be enjoyed by all. A more detailed commentary will be made once the Surf Coast Shire releases the official outcomes of the workshop…
And a comment relating to this article in the Geelong Independent - yes, cameras were discussed as one of the many options for controlling behaviour in the carpark and toilet area at Point Impossible. It was never proposed that the camera would be anywhere near the beach, and it should be noted that the camera would not necessarily be permanent - the Surf Coast Shire has to consider options that improve security and safety at ALL beaches, and a portable camera could be moved to different locations as required.
As always (and you should all know what comes next) - if you see anything at any of the beaches that is inappropriate and/or illegal, REPORT IT!!! Real nudists don’t misbehave at the beach, and we’re tired of the unsavoury behaviour reflection on our well-behaved community. Stand up for our beach, or we might lose it!!
