Beachmere’s wild makeover
Moreton Bay Council is making changes to the Beachmere foreshore recreation areas to help protect local wildlife and habitat.
The new boundaries will amend the existing dog off-leash, dog on-leash, and horse recreation areas, to minimise the impact to migratory and resident shorebird population who call Beachmere home at various times of the year.
These changes will come into effect on 3 February, allowing residents time to adjust to the changes.
Mayor Peter Flannery said Council is aware it may change how residents currently use the foreshore for activities with their dogs and horses, but emphasised these will still be possible.
“These activities will still exist, but within amended designated areas that will minimise the impact on our local wildlife,” he said.
“Importantly, these changes will also bring the Beachmere foreshore into line with State and Federal Government legislation.
“We ask that everyone abide by the new rules as they continue to enjoy recreational activities.”
Penalties will apply once these changes come into effect.
More information on the Beachmere recreation areas and when information sessions will be held can be found on Council’s website.
