A long and detailed consultation with dog owners, the general public, Council staff and councillors has taken place over the last 18 months with a view on where dogs should be allowed in public places. This has resulted in a new policy and bylaw being adopted by the Marlborough District Council that comes into force from next Monday 1 October.

A compromise within the region has been reached by those who believe dogs have no place in a CBD and others who like the idea of taking their pet for a stroll downtown:

Blenheim CBD becomes dog-free while Picton’s CBD remains open to dogs on a leash.

The new policy and bylaw was drawn up after extensive consultation with the Marlborough community in which more than one thousand members of the public took part.
