TO THE MAYOR AND ALDERMAN OF THE CITY OF CLARENCE, WE THE UNDERSIGNED RESIDENTS STRONGLY OBJECT TO CHANGING THE CURRENT COUNCIL POLICY OF DOGS OFF LEAD IN ANZAC PARK FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1.     ANZAC PARK WITH ITS FLAT OPEN GREEN SPACE AND PAVED PATHWAYS CLOSE  TO THE VILLAGE  ALLOWS EASY ACCESS AND USE FOR SENIOR CITIZENS, THOSE WITH MOBILITY ISSUES, YOUNG PEOPLE AND FAMILIES TO ENJOY THE COMPANY OF THEIR DOGS OFF LEAD AND STILL UNDER EFFECTIVE CONTROL.
2.     ANZAC PARK IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF ANZAC TRADITIONS AND LENDS ITSELF TO BEING A SOCIAL GATHERING PLACE FOR THE COMMUNITY WITH THEIR DOGS OFF LEAD ENJOYING THE FREEDOM OF OUTDOOR SPACE.
3.     DOGS ARE PART OF THE ANZAC FAMILY AND TRADITIONS AND RECOGNISED AS AUSTRALIA’S GREATEST WAR ANIMALS.
