Changes to dog control bylaws which last 10 YEARS

Gordon from Halswell

Just a reminder that submissions will close 15th December to have your say on the proposed changes to Dog Control laws.
In the last two days I have spoken to Dog Owners as I walk my dog and 4 out of 5 were unaware of the changes. The 4th did not think it affected them until I explained that what she was currently doing, as we spoke, was going to be illegal.
The Base overriding rule will be that Dogs will be on short leads in public place.

6.2.2 On all footpaths, shared paths and formed tracks in parks [new] Dogs must be on a short leash on all footpaths, shared paths and formed tracks in parks where dogs are allowed.

Parks in this sense means any Council-managed greenspace area open to the public, such as parks, reserves and stormwater network assets. This includes stormwater assets that function like parks i.e. greenspace areas with footpaths, shared paths and formed tracks, such as engineered wetlands, drainage reserves and swales.
This does not apply to Bottle Lake Forest Park, which is a dog exercise area. Dogs can be exercised on the tracks through Bottle Lake while off-leash, as long as they are under effective control

If Bottle Lake Forest can be 'Dogs under control' Bikes, Walkers, Dogs?
Please have your say, either way rather than say"Oh I did not realise that was what it meant"
