Three of Brisbane’s foreshores are now open for dogs to run off-leash, after a year-long trial began on the weekend.
The three foreshore areas at Sandgate, Nudgee Beach and Manly will be open for the trial, after research conducted by the University of Queensland identified these areas as having low value for shorebird habitat.
Researchers will monitor the three sites throughout the year to observe any potential impacts on migratory birds.
