SAVE FREO BEACHES says hundreds of people and their pooches added their names to a giant banner over the weekend to protest against the Fremantle Sailing Club getting access to ‘Dog Beach’ (including Labor hopeful Josh Wilson, pictured here). The club wants its juniors to be allowed to launch from the northern end of South Beach, saying they’re currently forced to sail down a long and dangerous channel. Jolly Read from Save Freo Beaches says her group wants a swimming-only zone from groyne to groyne and says the plan to give the club access — floated by the WA transport department — would open up the area to jet skis and stink boats. She says the area is popular with families and dogs, and mixing with sailors is too dangerous.
