It was last updated on 2026-04-04 and is based on the Domestic Animals Act 2000 and the 2025 Dog Control Areas Declaration.

Use Cases

• Map dog-friendly recreational zones based on the legislated area types (off-leash, conditional, on-leash, prohibited).
• Analyze spatial distribution of dog access rules based on polygon locations.
• Develop public information applications based on the defined dog management area attributes.
• Cross-reference park usage with regulatory conditions mentioned in the description.

• Available in multiple geospatial and tabular formats (GeoJSON, GPKG, CSV, KML).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
