A Quiet Decision Sparks a Community Uprising

aN ONGOING fight for transparency, accountability, and genuine community power

A group of dogs gathered outdoors at Monte Cecilia Park, some looking up attentively, with people in the background.

What We’re Standing For

We’re not just resisting a rule change.

We’re standing up for:

  • Community voice: Decisions should reflect the people who use and love this park.

  • Common sense: The bowl is safe, well-used, and easily improved with better signage.

  • Joyful spaces: Parks should bring people together—not push them apart.

  • The rule of Law: Our elected officials need to follow laws and rules of conduct when making decisions that affect us all.

We made a splash in the news and received lots of support from Dog lovers throughout Acukland city -

Let’s FIGHT for Better

The recent local elections put C&R back in with a majority but we did score some points! The previous Chairperson lost her position and one of the 4 C&R members who voted to remove off-leash access lost his seat altogether.

But our fight is not yet over! We have a High Court date (24-25 Feb 2025) set and get to make our case. We would love you all to join the Society and show them the power of the community!

Take a stand
