A new approach to deciding dog access to parks and beaches will also start in 2013. Dog access; `% X2 S( Y, \2 @- C; j( ?
decisions will be made by local boards for local parks and beaches, and by the Parks, Recreation
! |/ B9 s& E0 {! g" `and Heritage Forum for parks and beaches of regional significance. Submissions requesting( V( n- Y4 T! J5 u0 l8 u3 b
changes to dog access rules will be referred to local boards and the forum to consider using the! ^: o6 G5 f+ {
new decision-making principles, criteria and guidance.
" }* G: S5 H5 ?, I3 sOne of the new criteria – raised by the majority of submissions - are standard times and seasons to
/ b0 r4 D6 |+ c: D- ybe used wherever a time and season dog access rule is used on a beach. The decision was to8 m" U0 j+ t1 g, g) W
adopt a standard summer beach time and season of 10am and 5pm, Labour Weekend to 1 March,

However, the new standard summer time and season will not be in effect until the forum and

most appropriate mix of dog access rules for our beaches. This might mean that the new summer( v# u) x, b% n# \) |& t
times and season will apply to some beaches, while for other beaches dogs may be allowed under9 b7 h8 V o, a6 A- }2 _& _2 [. m% m' a
