round, together with a list of recommended allocations following assessment by
officers and discussion with the Board's grants spokesperson and the Board

DOG ACCESS TO BEACHES
| Colin Craig |
|
| Citywide Strategy |
4 September 2008 |
Reporting on the recent review of off-leash dog exercise areas at which time a
number of submitters suggested that the council should adopt more liberal
provisions for dog access to beaches.
As a
result of these submissions and subsequent deliberations, the hearings panel has
invited all community boards to indicate whether or not they believe there are
any beaches within their area that should be available at some time during the
day during the summer period for off-leash exercise of dogs, and/or whether
there should be a specific beach or beaches on the isthmus available for dogs
all the time. The panel would also like to hear of any other issues that boards
may have concerning dogs on beaches.
Whilst recognising that there are no beaches within the Eden/Albert ward, it is
recommended that the Board consider whether it wishes to provide comment on the
issue of beach availability for dogs during daylight hours during the summer
period, or indicate whether it has any other issues regarding dogs on beaches.
