More dog parks for Moreton
Moreton Bay Council is proposing to establish 21 new designated dog off-leash areas (DOLAs) to provide more recreational spaces for dog lovers and their four-legged friends.
With 68 DOLAs already established across the City, Council is proposing to expand the network to meet current and future community needs.
Mayor Peter Flannery said more dog off-leash areas will support responsible pet ownership by providing spaces where dogs can safely play and socialise. “Moreton Bay residents love getting out and about with their dogs, and we’re planning for the future to ensure everyone has easy access to safe, welcoming spaces to enjoy with their pets,” he said. “We know there’s strong community demand for places where people can exercise, socialise and build stronger bonds with their dogs, and we’re acting on that feedback. Socialising animals is important, and these areas give dogs the chance to interact and play, while also helping owners connect with others in their community in a safe environment.”
Locations of the 21 newly proposed sites include:
Two in Caboolture (Central Springs Parade Park and Henry Bishop Park);
One in Burpengary East (Van Der Meer Drive Park);
Two in Elimbah (Morris Park and Mulligan Crescent Park);
One in D’Aguilar (Cash Street Park);
One in Delaneys Creek (Delaneys Creek Pony Club);
One in Morayfield (Trinity Way Park);
One in Narangba (McCullagh Park);
One in Bellmere (Marlene Street).
Cr Flannery said these potential new DOLAs were identified through a comprehensive city-wide review. “We’re considering the needs across the City to ensure everyone has access to dog-friendly facilities in their local area and that environmental sustainability is front and centre in our planning,” he said. “Identifying these potential sites is a vital first step in our long-term planning for more dog-friendly spaces to deliver the best outcomes for our community and their beloved pets.”
Cr Flannery assured locals that only after a comprehensive assessment against Council’s Dog Off-Leash Area Guidelines, and liaison with the local community, will decisions be made about each potential new DOLA site and whether it is suitable to progress to detailed design and construction.
