Final Call: Scarborough Dog Beach

Published 04 February 2021

There are just 16 days left to have your say on the Queens Beach North Dog Off-Leash Area (DOLA) consultation.

Mayor Peter Flannery said the response had been overwhelming, but he wants to ensure all voices were heard.

“Nearly 1,500 responses have been received so far and we haven’t even hit the February 19 cut-off date yet,” he said.

“So if you’re a resident, beach-goer, or dog lover please make sure you share the survey link with your friends and family so that they can have a say.

“We want to hear from the full spectrum of beach users to understand how this impacts different people, the amenity, and the environment.

“This will put an end to four years of uncertainty for residents and dog owners in the region so it’s important you have your say.

“Once the survey responses are analysed, a comprehensive report can come back to Council for a final decision in April.

“Regardless, please remember to always maintain effective control of your pets, which includes leashing your dog while walking from your car to the DOLA.

“There is also clearly marked signage that designates where the DOLA starts and ends, as well as other relevant information.”
