We're proposing to create an unfenced, designated dog-off leash area in Cory Street Park in Oakey. The proposed area would give dog owners a place to train, socialise and exercise their pets off-leash.
In accordance with Local Law No. 2 (Animal Management) 2011 which authorises amendments to designated dog off-leash areas, we're now seeking community feedback on the proposal. Please read on to find out how you can have your say.
Dog handler responsibilities
Within any public area dog handlers must:
keep their dog(s) under effective control at all times, either by:
restraint on a leash OR
unrestrained within a designated dog off-leash area but under the continuous supervision of a person who is able to control the animal by voice command
immediately remove and dispose of their dog’s faeces in a sanitary manner
prevent their dog(s) from attacking a person or animal, or acting in a way that causes fear to a person or animal, or cause damage to property
ensure their dog(s) are currently registered within the local government area where they are usually kept
ensure that declared dangerous, menacing dogs, and prohibited breeds meet with conditions outlined in the declaration for that animal
ensure that female dogs that are in season (on heat) are not brought into a public area.
Local laws and penalties apply.
Have your say
Thank you to everyone who commented on the proposal from Saturday 21 November to 5pm on Monday 14 December 2020.
Community feedback is now being reviewed and submissions will be included in a report on the proposal which will be considered by Council from early 2021. If endorsed the area will be appropriately signed to indicate the designated dog off-leash area and rules for use of this area.
