DOG CATCHER UPDATE - Nov.2004

Interesting to compare the philosophies of the different Sunshine Coast Councils regarding Dog Control Local Law.

Caloundra C.C. - Treats Dog Owners with respect and designates Currimundi Beach as an Off-Leash Area with the result that the Volunteers kept the Beach in such a Pristine State that it Won this year's Clean Beach Challenge

whereas

Maroochy S.C. - Treats Owners as potential Criminals to be Policed and Fined $150min. for any breach of their Dog Local Laws.
Result - Nobody volunteers for anything and beaches are a MESS.
(Oh - We'd ALL like to volunteer to Punch the Dog Catcher's lights out!)

S.C.D. December 4th. 2004
Currimundi Beach in Caloundra is declared the CLEANEST BEACH in Queensland -
Not bad for a Dog OFF-LEASH Beach eh?
Just shows what can happen when people are treated with respect instead of suspicion. Unlike in Maroochy Shire with their Police State By-Laws and Enforcement Officers where we wouldn't dream of keeping our beach clean.
