The Sunshine Coast Council has officially confirmed that beach access 132 through 136 will remain open for off-leash dogs at all hours. We have secured the outcome requested in our petition. My team will continue to monitor council meeting minutes to ensure this status remains permanent.

I have submitted a formal request for a meeting with the local council representative to discuss the proposal for beach access changes. We are currently finalizing a briefing document that outlines the impact these restrictions would have on our community.

The current trajectory of this campaign has secured the attention of the local planning committee. I am finalizing a formal briefing document to present at our upcoming meeting to ensure the council understands the specific legal requirements for maintaining current beach access.

We don't go near the dunes and rarely see any other dog there The birds look happy over the water on Goat Island

I dont see the dogs on the dunes as beach is wide. At lease keep the eastern and southern sides the part close to carpark can be for families only.

This off lead dog beach should be reserved. It is one of the most popular dog beaches we have access to. Sunshine Coast council should be proud to keep it as is

This essential community resource is used by hundreds of families with dogs every week. It should be retained.

There’s not many places (beaches) dogs can be off leash on the coast. I never see much wildlife apart from a few turkeys

I think it would be almost impossible for a dog to catch a bird. They don’t build nests in the ground

We need a space for dogs to be free and enjoy the beauty of our beaches as we do too
