Byron Bay Camper Van
The Byron Shire Council seams to be moving ahead with banning illegal camping, or parking your campervan on a car park over night. There have been complaints about noise coming from campervans parked in residential areas.
The Byron Shire News quoted a Butler Street couple having counted 23 vans in their vicinity one night over Easter.
Planning director Ray Darney admits, “it’s not an easy task. As soon as we move them on from one spot, they turn up in another.”
He said rangers had carried out regular patrols of streets known for camping and had directed people to move on as well as issuing on-the-spot parking fines.
Rangers also directed more than 500 campers to roadside rest areas at Bangalow, Tyagarah, North Ocean Shores and Yelgun over Easter alone.
The best is you go on one of the official camping sites but if you can not make it because you arrived in the middle of the night you can stay over night on these car parks indicated in the map with a blue marker.
