We're advocating for a leash-free area at Oliver's Hill Beach, when dogs are already allowed on the beach, provided they are leashed. This beach is the most popular for people too take their dogs. 

Here's the scoop: right now, there isn't a beach in Frankston where our furry friends can roam free. Sure, there's one in Seaford within the Frankston Council district, but it's a 15-minute drive at least for many of us in Frankston. That's not exactly convenient for many residents who walk their pets before or after work. 

The truth is, most of us are bending the rules because we don't have a spot to do the right thing. Let's be real here - we're dodging the council rangers, quickly leashing up our pups whenever we spot them. But what if we didn't have to play this game? What if we had a designated leash-free area? Without a proper spot, we're all left breaking the rules just to let our dogs enjoy some freedom. It's not about trying to skirt around things; it's about having a place where our furry friends can stretch their legs and socialise and enjoy some freedom, guilt-free.

So, picture this: a designated zone at Oliver's Hill Beach where responsible dog owners can let their pets off-leash during the times dogs are allowed on the sand, giving our pups a spot to stretch, play, and socialise within set boundaries during the hours the council says it's OK to be on the beach.

Let's unite and push the Frankston City Council to consider this idea seriously. We're asking for a leash-free section at Oliver's Hill Beach that aligns with the times dogs are already allowed on the sand. It's about giving us responsible pet owners a chance to always do the right thing and make our community beach even better for everyone!
