The council finally caved and gave us the southern end of Mona Vale Beach for our dogs. They tried to ignore us for long enough but our pressure became impossible to dodge. Keep a close watch to ensure they actually follow through and don't try to pull any fast ones …

Pittwater has nine surf beaches on its eastern coastline, yet dogs aren't allowed on one! There are designated off-leash dog parks and places to let dogs swim on the bay side, but nowhere for owners and their dogs to enjoy the surf together. I propose that the southern end of Mona Vale Beach (the part that's adjacent to Mona Vale Golf Course) should be an off-leash area for dogs to enjoy the beach with their owners. Of course owners will need to take responsibility for their dogs and their business! But lets face it, they aren't going to leave syringes or beer bottles on the beach! If the residents can live with a sewerage outfall (which pumps out from Warriewood Headland), surely they can handle dogs on half of one of Pittwater's nine beaches.

The local council cannot keep ignoring us now that this momentum has hit a fever pitch. They clearly prefer their pristine, empty beaches over the rights of residents to enjoy the surf with their pets. We are forcing them to look at the mess they have made of our public spaces while they try to block us.

Its just a bit of sand at the end of the beach anyway. Hardly going to ruin anyone's day.

Dogs are way cleaner than the garbage people leave behind at the beach anyway. Sick of the double standards.

Finally someone said it! My dog loves the water but we have to drive so far just to find a spot. Mona Vale would be perfect.

Used to take my old lab down there years ago and nobody cared. Needs to be official now though.

About time. Sick of having to go all the way to the bay when the surf is right here.
