Below is an email I just received concerning dog walking on Mornington Peninsula NP, which was discussed here earlier this year (I think). Good news for Hooded Plovers, but I’ll let others who know more about it comment on whether the news is good enough.

It sounds reasonable Peter (although I do not know the areas well enough to comment) but will it be enforced – I have been to many places where dogs are banned or only allowed on lead and the regulations are blatantly ignored – one day in the Dandenongs I saw a guy with two off lead Retrievers tell a ranger “I do this every day” and walked on and the ranger did (and probably could do) nothing. In 10 years of walking my dogs (legally!) locally I have yet to see a ranger enforce the rules!
