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.
