Styx Mill Conservation Reserve (excluding the west end)

Dogs prohibited

Dogs are not permitted in this area.

Council classification: Dogs Prohibited Area

Rule details

Dogs are prohibited to protect wildlife, except for the following paths, where dogs are allowed and must be leashed: • on the path that runs from the Styx Mill Road car park, along the back of the Styx Mill Transfer Station, to Styx Mill Road; and • on the path that runs around the outside of the predator-proof fence in the reserve. Note that some parts of the perimeter path are not in the reserve (such as the sections along the residential side of the Styx River and through Glenn Oaks Reserve). The general rules requiring dogs to be leashed on paths apply in these other sections. Note the west end of the conservation reserve (from the Hussey Road entrance road) is covered by a separate entry. (Council control: Prohibited/Leashed.)
