Off leash dogs have been wreaking havoc down at the Goulburn Wetlands recently. A Goulburn resident (who wished to remain anonymous) came into the Goulburn Post with pictures of two Alsatian dogs who were down at the wetlands on March 7. The resident said the dogs were diving into the ponds and frightening and chasing the birds away, including some nesting quails. “We just want the people who own these dogs to know that they have been getting out and disturbing the birds,” the resident said. A council spokesperson said dogs were not allowed off the leash at the wetlands. “Council would like to remind the community that dogs need to be on a leash at all times in public spaces such as the wetlands,” the spokesperson said. “Anyone that spots a dog off-leash is asked to call Council as soon as possible on 4823 4444 and ask to speak with the Ranger team.”
