1st March 2010 The Pathway adjacent to the Bayswater Main Drain.

Currently the OFF LEASH Dog Exercise Area in Riverside Gardens West does NOT include the pathway which runs adjacent to the Bayswater Main Drain from the water towers to the river.

Bayswater City Council is intending to enforce the rules of the 1976 Dog Act which states:

31. Control of dogs in certain public places

(1) A dog shall not be in a public place unless it is —

(a) held by a person who is capable of controlling the dog;

or

(b) securely tethered for a temporary purpose,

 by means of a chain, cord, leash or harness of sufficient strength and not exceeding the prescribed length.  

YOU WILL BE FINED  

Council will consider an amendment but we need to let them know how we feel. PLEASE post or email Bayswater councillors with the following statement (or similar in your own words) – they have to consider all requests and comments. You can copy and paste and email directly from this web page, just select the councillor below and click on their email address.

I, [insert your full name and address], respectfully request Bayswater City Council to include the whole of the path adjacent to the Bayswater Main Drain in Riverside Gardens West from the water tanks to the Swan River in the OFF LEASH Dog Exercise Area
