Help Save The Dogs of Madills Farm

Auckland Council and the Ōrākei Local Board have proposed limiting dog access at Madills Farm, Kohimarama - prohibiting dogs from the playing fields at all times. As the playing fields make up the majority of the park, this is a de-facto ban on off-leash walking at Madills Farm. This park has been a vibrant shared community resource for many years, and these changes reduce it to little more than a single-purpose sports facility.

The council is currently accepting feedback submissions on this, and so I am attempting to organise a large public response to push back and help maintain Madills Farm as a shared space for dog walkers and sports players alike.

I have set up an advocacy website to inform people on the proposed changes and help organise against them. I am also funding an advertising campaign to reach people that might not know what is going on - this includes flyer & poster printing, online ads on social media, and more.
