Allow part time dog access to beaches in Randwick LGA

Target: Randwick City Council
Region: Australia
Petition Background (Preamble):
There is a complete ban on dogs on all beaches within Randwick LGA at all times of the day and year. Councillors recently voted down a motion to commission a report into the issue despite strong community support.
Council is failing the large proportion of their constituents who are dog owners by persisting in a blanket ban rather than managing the different needs of residents.
Dogs do not pollute water by swimming in it and waste issues are easily overcome by providing bags and bins and by policing compliance.
A compromise on this issue needs to be reached.

Petition:
We, the undersigned, call on Randwick City Council to either:
1. allow dogs on the LGA's beaches between the hours of 5 pm and 9 am, with dogs banned from the beach outside of these hours; or
2. allocate a dedicated dog beach, for example Yarra Bay, where dogs will be allowed at all times but continue to be banned from other beaches.
