They say "The Tails of the City project is a City of Busselton initiative focused on enhancing animal management practices through broad community participation.

- 20 unchanged (7 dogs prohibited, 11 off-leash, 2 seasonal off-leash)
- 13 more restricted, (8 dogs prohibited, 4 dog on-leash, 1 seasonal off-leash)
- 5 less restricted, (1 on-lead and 4 off-leash)

The community is responding by pushing back against the dog-beach changes.
