Barking Mad is ready with a consultation plan and questions, the beach areas we want and the case-law to take away any doubt that Warringah Council has the legislative instrument & imperative to make this happen without the approval of 13 other State agencies.
BARKING MAD is funded by responsible pet owners and carers. If you support what we do for you, please MAKE A DONATION.

One way to get humans to swim between the flags is to allow dogs off the leash on the parts of the beach not set aside for patrolled swimming !
Best wishes for the correct outcome on Tuesday.
Members B.& D.S.
this is fantastic news! Finally someone with a back bone and insight to rectify the glaring disparity in access to public space that has confronted sydneys animal owning population. I hope you are being supported by the RSPCA as this kind of shift in local govt policy stands to see a massive improvement in the welfare of companion animals...directly in line with what the RSPCA strives for.
What is a Companion Animal? I've never heard that term being used.
How are they different to Assistance Dogs?
A companion animal, at least in NSW, is one registered under the companion animals act. Information on assistance dogs, in particular how NSW legislation is contrary to federal discrimination law, is in the members area of the web. Join as a member for these and other benefits.
