Benefits of Foreshore Dog Off-Leash Areas

The Foreshore Dog Off-Leash Area project will provide Brisbane dog off-leash areas on the foreshore, creating an opportunity to:

protect environmental values, including migratory shorebirds and their habitat
engage the community about the importance of conserving migratory shorebirds and their habitat
provide opportunities for the community to walk their dogs off-leash on the foreshore in established areas
educate and enforce dogs remaining on-leash outside of these new established areas
educate the community about the importance of responsible pet ownership.

Established dog off-leash areas along the foreshore may improve shorebird conservation by encouraging people to only walk dogs off-leash in selected areas and remain on-leash outside these areas, helping reduce shorebird disturbance along large extents of the foreshore.
