Email received this morning from Dogs Qld.

I refer you to a notice that has been received by the Dogs Queensland Office from the Brisbane City Council, the contents of which I ask you to take note of. Please CLICK HERE to view the notice.

I further refer you to an email sent from Dogs Queensland on 5th June in regards to Camping at the Dogs Queensland Sports Grounds at Durack (the Showgrounds) and especially clause 4 of that email that I reproduce below;

4. Members who choose to tent camp outside of the designated area, or to camp in a vehicle will do so at their own risk and Dogs Queensland will not be liable for any loss suffered by those members. Additionally, as this will be in breach of the BCC camping approval granted to Dogs Queensland, members who do so may put Dogs Queensland at risk of losing its current BCC approval and jeopardise future applications for BCC camping approvals.

Due to the actions of Members in ignoring the above direction, Dogs Queensland is now at a real risk of losing its current approval and jeopardising any future applications for approval for Caravans, Campervans, Winnebago's, etc.

Consequently, Dogs Queensland has been left with very little alternative but to advise all Members that anyone arriving at the Showgrounds this weekend with an intention to Camp in anything other than a Tent in a pre-booked Camping Site will be turned away at the Gate. Similarly, at the conclusion of the Shows on Saturday and Sunday, anyone with an intention to Camp in anything other than a Tent in a pre-booked Camping Site will be asked to leave the Grounds. Consequently, anyone with a pre-booked Tent Camping Site should have their printed permit with them at all times. It is likely at this stage that a Security Guard will be employed to ensure these directions are complied with.

Tent Camping Sites are still available for this weekend, all bookings are to be made through the Show Manager website, showmanager.com.au and we thank them greatly for their assistance in developing this booking system.
