Summer dog rules keep
beaches safe and clean for summer
Summer rules for
exercising your dog on Auckland city's beaches are now in
force.
The rules, with a couple of exceptions, are that
from Labour Weekend until Easter 2006, dogs are not allowed
on city beaches between 9am and 7pm.
When exercising your
dog on the beach outside these hours, you must make sure
that your dog is on a leash at all times and remove any
faeces.
Some areas are prohibited to dogs at all times of
year, including:
- the swimming area in front of the
bathing sheds on St Heliers Beach
- safe swimming areas
or lanes marked out or identified by Auckland City
(including the marked "safe swimming lane" on Kohimarama
beach)
- any area developed or marked out as a sports
field (except for the spectator area) or skateboard park or
within 10 metres of a playground.
"By following these
rules, dog owners are taking responsibility for their pets
and helping to make our beaches safe and clean," says Warren
Adler, Auckland City's service requests manager.
"I would
advise dog owners to find out more about dog exercise rules
for Auckland city so that pets and their owners can enjoy
the city's beaches and parks in a responsible way this
summer," he says.

Winston Peters is routinely described as the kingmaker who decides whether the centre right or the centre-left has a turn at running this country. He also plays a less heralded, but equally important role as the scapegoat who can be blamed for killing taxes that his senior partners never much wanted in the first place. Neither Ardern nor Robertson for example, really wanted a capital gains tax, for fear of Labour copping the “tax and spend“ label they ended up being saddled with anyway. Usefully though, they could tell the party faithful it was wicked old Winston who killed the CGT... More
The National Party claims the new coalition government will be stable, effective, and will deliver for all Kiwis. "Despite the challenging economic environment, New Zealanders can look forward to a better future because of the changes the new Government will make ... We know that, with the right leadership, the right policies, and the right direction, together New Zealanders can make this an even better country," says Christopher Luxon... More
“The new Government’s plan to expand oil and gas exploration is as dangerous as it is unscientific. Whatever you think about the new government, there is simply no mandate to trash the climate. We need to come together to stop them,” says James Shaw... More
MFAT's decision to remove te reo from correspondence before new Ministers are sworn in risks undermining the important progress the public sector has made in honouring te Tiriti. "We are very disappointed in what is a backward decision - it simply seems to be a Ministry bowing to the racist rhetoric we heard on the election campaign trail," says Marcia Puru... More
