Our Concerns

  • Unclear and ineffective laws and regulations - laws that are continually flouted are usually ‘bad’ laws and need review
  • Unreasonable policing of laws
  • Inequitable sharing of public space for dog owners – particularly off-leash with an over-reliance on sporting ovals 
  • Leash length laws
  • Increasing development of parks and pathways (see maps page)
  • Non-consultative decision-making by Council regarding pet issues

Why do the needs of the largest single group of park users always come last?
