                | would like to take this opportunity to thank council for the great work going on in our community by
                our Mayor Clare and the team.

                lam writing to put forward a proposal.

                | have been a resident of the Sunrise Beach community for 38 years and would like to see the dog beach
                access 38 (David Low Way) extended north, to the next access 37 (Oreaila cres), this would allow dog
                walkers a continuous route to the Chalet café from 38 by walking along the beach and exiting at No 37
                (Orealla cres).

               This relaxation of the rules would benefit the local community in many ways.

               The Chalet coffee shop would have a lot more of the dog walkers frequent the cafe.

                It would reduce carbon emissions by dog owners choosing to walk instead of drive to the coffee shop.

                it would promote exercise increasing the distance to walk along the beach.

                | recognize that not everyone loves dogs on the beach and we have many off leash dog areas that we as
                residents are grateful for, however there is a big calling in the community to be able to walk from access
                no 38 to 37, Even if this could be an on leash area, this would be a great step forward.

                Th dog owner community are very responsible in cleaning up after their dogs, as is demonstrated on the
                dog off leash beaches. They are very clean and not many people ignore their responsibility.
                South of the patrolled area in front of the amenities at access 36 (Tingira) is not a busy area of the
                beach. Therefore this proposal would not infringe on anyone using a patrolled area.

                Perhaps you could hold a trial and gauge community response.

                | hope that you can discuss this at the appropriate council meeting.

                | know | have a lot of support to facilitate this change and look forward to hearing from you regarding
                this proposal,

                In community spirit

                                                                                                              Page 25 of 31
