Local residents have been advised of proposed changes to Warana beach stretch north and south to be changed to a dog on-lead and restricted area. 

'Dog off-leash areas mean dogs can engage in extended and vigorous physical activity through free running, ball play and chase activities with other dogs and with family members. They can do this regardless of the age or mobility of their owners. Off-leash areas also allow dogs to interact and socialise with other dogs and people.'

Taking away this freedom for our pets is affecting and upsetting many who responsibly walk their dogs along this beach.

Many, including elderly, are unable to vigorously exercise their pets on a leash and rely on this space to allow their dogs to get that exercise needed. 

Please don't allow these changes.
