Who let the dogs out?

Across Australia, dog lovers are calling for accessible off-leash areas that support dogs and protect people. 

 

From Shepparton to Shoalhaven, Geraldton to Glenroy, and Bondi to Bulahdelah, thousands are calling on local councils to strike a better balance, protecting wildlife, ensuring public safety, and giving dogs the space they need to run, play, and socialise.

 

Some communities are fighting to keep beloved off-leash beaches and parks open. Others are pushing for fenced dog parks, dedicated hours, or new spaces altogether. Many are calling for the enforcement of leash laws where needed, as well as clarity and fairness where current regulations fall short.

 

Whether you walk your dog before sunrise, rely on pet-friendly spaces for your mental health, or are simply tired of unclear rules and dwindling access, join the debate today.
