Hear here Kim! I privately replied the same to Jean and am also a devoted former dog owner.

I am a dog owner myself and take pleasure (as does my pup) in going to places designated for people and dogs. But I do not take my dog to nature reserves or national parks. My point was that the proximity of housing developments to natural areas
where dogs are NOT allowed inevitably seems to lead to irresponsible dog owners taking their dogs in. Jerrabomberra Wetlands a case in point.

I hope Kim will withdraw her comment. The implication that denial of access to e.g. dog owners is beneficial ? Urban conservation of areas such as this requires an educated local population that will defend its right to be conserved as open space,
not for the exclusive use of birders. It is not wilderness but a common resource for those that live there, including dog owners.

But the Uriarra access gate has a sign " Danger, construction site, DO NOT ENTER " So it seems there is no access?

Grading
for housing development
is well underway at the back gate end of Bluetts Block.
The best
access
into Bluetts
is now via
Uriarra road gate entry.
Unfortunate Denman Prospect residents now
must walk along a boring track
outside Bluetts and
below the eastern side of the hill. The track
leads to
Uriarra Road from Holborow Bridge
- and returns the same way – thus not even going into Bluetts Block.
Very disappointing that the promised
access track into Bluetts has not been
delivered.
