Residents of North Lakes, Mango Hill, Deception Bay, Rothwell, and surrounding areas will soon have more places to exercise their furry friends, with several new off-leash dog parks planned.
More Off-Leash Areas Coming
Council is adding twenty-one new off-leash dog areas to the region’s parks and the 68 already available. After reviewing the city, the council added more areas because people wanted more places to take their dogs.
Peter Flannery said they were planning for the future. He said the Council knew people wanted places to walk and play with their dogs and was listening to what they wanted.

What Happens Next?
Before any parks are built, the Council will check each site carefully. They will make sure it meets Council rules and talk to people in the local area. This ensures the parks are good for everyone and don’t harm the environment.
Pet Owners: Remember to Register Your Pets
Council also wants to remind people to register their pets. It’s important to keep your pet’s details up to date. This includes your address, phone number, and whether your pet has been desexed, rehomed, or died. You can get your renewal notices by email. Pensioners can get a discount on pet registration. You can register and update your details on Council’s website: moretonbay.qld.gov.au/animals
Keeping Pets Safe
Council has some tips for keeping your pets safe:
- Register your pet: All cats and dogs must be registered within 14 days of moving to Moreton Bay or by 12 weeks of age.
- Microchipping: Cats and dogs aged between 8 and 12 weeks must be microchipped.
- Identification: Pets must wear a tag with your contact details when they leave home.
- Secure your yard: Make sure your yard is secure so your pet can’t escape.
- Desex your pet: Desexing can improve your pet’s health and behaviour. Council offers cheaper registration for desexed pets.
