Dogs now must be leashed at Onehunga Bay.
A new on-leash dog area has just come into effect at Onehunga Bay at Whitireia Park.
Dogs now must be leashed around the beach, parking area and picnic area at Onehunga Bay. They can be off-leash in the rest of the park, but must be in sight and under voice control.
What do you think of this? Should dogs be kept away from picnic areas?
Do dogs have enough places to run in Porirua City?
Are dog owners getting value from their registration fee?
We're looking into this story and would love to hear your opinions.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)

The Hikoi on Tuesday 19th
I copied this from a Facebook page: The expected route of the hīkoi on Tuesday is from Takapuwahia Maree in Esldon towards Porirua and along Kenepuru Drive to Tawa, then up Middleton Road to Johnsonville, down Ngaraunga George and along the old Hutt Road to Wellington. They are anticipating significant congestion on the roads between 06.00am and 12.30pm.
