Currently there are very little up-to-date Australian data published on dogs entering shelters. In this study we describe the characteristics and outcomes of dogs entering the Royal Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Queensland shelters in 2014, with the view to provide guidance on targeting strategies to reduce shelter admissions, and suggest areas where further research is needed.

    Gympie National Park Management Statement 2013 Legislative framework Park size: 1,768ha Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 Bioregion: South Eastern Queensland Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cwlth) QPWS region: Sunshine and Fraser Coast Fire and Rescue Service Act 1990 Local government Gympie Regional Council Native Title Act 1993 (Cwlth) estate/area: Nature Conservation Act 1992 State electorate: Gympie Thematic strategies Level 2 Fire Management Strategy Level 2 Pest Management Strategy Vision Gympie National Park protects endangered and of concern regional ecosystems, while balancing historical recreation use. Conservation purpose Gympie National Park was originally State forest tenure up until 2002 and was logged for its Gympie messmate Eucalyptus cloeziana. The current national park was gazetted in 2006 from its holding tenure as forest reserve as part of the South East Queensland Forests Agreement process. The park contains significant proportions of the endangered regional ecosystem (RE) 12.11.16, in which messmate occurs. Gympie National Park also contains the of concern ecosystems flooded gum Eucalyptus grandis forest (12.3.2) and northern grey ironbark E. siderophloia forest (12.3.11). Management will focus on mitigating the edge effects created by the fragmented estate, protecting ecosystems and preserving the self-reliant nature of recreational use. Protecting and presenting the park’s values Landscape Gympie National Park is situated 12km north-east of Gympie. The park is spread out between North Deep Creek to the west and Goomboorian to the east. The current national park comprises four areas of the old State forest known as Downsfield, Veteran, Home and the Goomboorian strip.
