The group wants the dog ban area to be extended south as far as the car park at Ocean View Recreation Reserve. Many dog owners exercised their pets off the leash on Ocean View Beach and had no control of them. "Some dog owners don't know or don't seem to care - they seem to think dogs can run freely everywhere.'' Dog owners accessing the beach at Ocean View Recreation Reserve were walking down to a prohibited area. The dog bylaw could be reviewed in the next two to three years, Mr Blair said.
