That area was trashed and eroded by foot traffic, pets, and dirt bike riders. The fence was there to protect the zone for re-vegetation, and to revitalise local wildlife. But apparently letting dogs loose there is more important for a bunch of NIMBYs. There is literally two massive ovals 50m down the track, with a lawn area 2x the size of the fenced off zone, where dogs are allowed to roam free.

More of my rates being pissed up a wall by this council. The fence was fine. Plenty of space on the wide path during peak times. There’s a million other spots for dogs in the area.

I’m confident this is a very small handful of people with too much time.
I walk my dog there daily and it’s insane how much off lead space nearby was still available with the proposed changes.
I am genuinely embarrassed by the locals who opposed it.

More dog owners believing they’re allowed to do whatever the fuck they want.

Certain dog owners will just do whatever want. Evidenced by the piles of dog shit everywhere.

Some people are so selfish. They google ahve improved safety there and kept the nature protected.

I know we’re already regarded as a nanny state but I genuinely think dog ownership should be on a licensed basis. A lot of antisocial owner behaviour would be eliminated if there was a risk your right to a pet could be revoked. So sick of seeing enormous dog shits on the pavement and 5ft 1 dweebs getting dragged around by untrained, unmuzzled, aggressive breeds.
