The primary assets of Byron Bay are its 'natural assets'. Beach, protected Bush and wildlife. Human activity degrades and eliminates these assets speedily. 'Gardens' speak for themselves by sponsoring mostly o.s. plants and weeds. Any area where Australian animals and plants are supposed to be protected is the prime target for people to take their packs of dogs especially into these areas. Signs pleading to give the Oystercatchers a go are dismissed and they bring their dogs to Tallow Creek. Similarly at Belongil Beach, massive dog walkers, all off the leash only in the delicate 'Bird Buddy' area of Belongil Creek, not in the allowed 'dog' sections. It is unsustainable to have Nature Reserves and National Parks regularly full of dogs and insuffiecient enforcement to give Australian animals a home free of hassle.
Many dogs regularly at:
Arakwal National Park at Tallow Creeek
Belongil Beach towards Belongil Creek (Birdbuddy sign!)
Clarkes beach
Watego Beach
etc
