Recently, there have been calls to place restrictions on unleashed dogs or all dogs at any time on all beaches. This is totally unreasonable.
It is understandable that some people want to restrict dogs in some ways under certain circumstances, but this needs to be fair to dog owners and their pets who enjoy the beach as much as anyone else. For a person who lives alone, their dog may be their only companion.
There are no dedicated dog parks in the Mount or Papamoa even though a large number of rate payers are also dog owners, so there is nowhere else for dogs, large and small, to freely play and exercise.
Some beaches (like Whangamata) have dedicated hours to walk off leash dogs during the summer (November to end of March). When I was there, the hours for unleashed dogs were 6pm till 10am, with all the rest of the day available to people and leashed dogs only.
Although this means some minor restrictions, it allows maximum freedom for everyone to enjoy the beach in their own way. I have written to the council with this suggestion. If you have an opinion about dogs on the beach, please contact the council on info@tauranga.govt.nz

Wanted strong and very fit reliable person with good work ethics and attitude to help on lifestyle property just out of town. Task include pick up animal food, possibly daily, general property and home maintenance and manual weed control, some animal welfare work. A must is you will need to have a van or enclosed Ute you can use to pick up animal food at different locations in bins and boxes. Not suitable for someone with hip or back problems. Part time turning into full time hours for the right person or just doing the animal food collection run once a day in the afternoon, will take about 2 hours including travel times. Must be reliable and available on weekends as well. A trial period applies. To find out more call 02041741215 Peter and leave a message, better still send a txt with your name and I get back to you.
