Dog Walking
Dogs are currently not allowed in National Parks. They offer one of the few public open areas free from dogs. Many dog owners would like to be able to walk their dogs in the National Park. How would you feel about this?

Reliable Ferry Serive to Shark Island
Would be good if there was a reliable service on Weekends so that we could visit the island.

I'm sure the public would appreciate a reliable service to the harbour islands.
