This two-page leaflet described restrictions, the rationale behind them and the difference in restrictions in some specific areas of Victoria’s parks, reserves and forests – in 1987. Published here for historical reference.

Part of the rationale behind restrictions on dogs is visible in the Study of the Dog Problem in Fringe Farming Areas of Melbourne – 1980. Protecting open space depends not just on planning documents, but also on resolving issues that render management of open space difficult for the landowners.
