As part of the plan there’s new rules for horse riding and bike riding in nature reserves, and stricter rules on where dogs are allowed to go.

“We have also worked closely with the Canberra community to develop a management plan that protects our iconic nature spaces, while providing the community with plenty of recreational opportunities close to home,” Mr Gentleman said.
