Dated versions never change. ## Query The query API returns only the rows you ask for, as JSON, NDJSON or CSV, from the same typed rows as the files. It needs no key. Rows: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/qld-brisbane-dog-off-leash-areas/rows. Counts and sums: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/qld-brisbane-dog-off-leash-areas/aggregate. - Rows: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/qld-brisbane-dog-off-leash-areas/rows?item_type=eq.DOG%20OFF%20LEASH%20NODE&limit=5 - Aggregate: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/qld-brisbane-dog-off-leash-areas/aggregate?group=fencing&metric=count&item_type=eq.DOG%20OFF%20LEASH%20NODE Each filter is `field=operator.value` in the query string, and every filter must match. A number or date field compares as a number or date, and a text field compares as text. Values are case-sensitive except with `ilike`. Prefix `not.` to negate a filter, as `not.eq.value`. Operators: `eq.value`, `neq.value`, `gt.value`, `gte.value`, `lt.value`, `lte.value`, `like.*text*`, `ilike.*text*`, `in.(a,b,c)`, `is.null`. - `select`: Fields to return, comma-separated. Every field when absent. - `order`: `field.asc` or `field.desc`, comma-separated. The publisher's row order when absent. - `limit`: Rows per page, 1 to 10,000. 100 when absent. - `offset`: Rows to skip. The `next` URL in each answer sets it for you. - `group`: On `aggregate`, fields to group by, comma-separated. - `metric`: On `aggregate`, `count`, `sum.field`, `avg.field`, `min.field` or `max.field`, comma-separated. `count` when absent. - `format`: `json`, `ndjson` or `csv`. JSON carries the provenance header, and the others carry it in response headers. Without a version the API answers from the newest loaded version, and that answer changes when the publisher releases again. Put `versions//` before `rows` or `aggregate` for an answer that never changes. `/api/v1/datasets//versions` lists the loaded versions. The API allows 60 requests in 10 seconds from one address. Above that it answers 429 for 10 seconds with a `Retry-After` header, a `RateLimit-Policy` header and a JSON body that gives the limit. Every API answer carries the same `RateLimit-Policy`. A client should wait the `Retry-After` seconds, or read the files, which have no limit.

Open https://publicdata.au/d/qld-brisbane-dog-off-leash-areas/latest/data.csv. It redirects to the newest dated version, which is https://publicdata.au/d/qld-brisbane-dog-off-leash-areas/v/2026-09-09/data.csv today. The same path serves Excel, JSON, GeoJSON, Parquet, SQLite, DuckDB, GeoPackage, GeoParquet, NDJSON, Arrow. A dated URL never changes, so use it when the file must stay the same. ### Can I open Dog off-leash areas in Excel? Yes. https://publicdata.au/d/qld-brisbane-dog-off-leash-areas/v/2026-09-09/data.xlsx is a workbook with the 172 rows on a records sheet, the field list on a second sheet and the provenance on a third. The CSV also opens in Excel. https://publicdata.au/d/qld-brisbane-dog-off-leash-areas/v/2026-09-09/data.csv.gz is the CSV at about a tenth of the size. ### How often is Dog off-leash areas updated? Brisbane City Council releases it irregularly, several times a year. This site checks the portal every week and adds a dated version when the file changes. ### Can I use Dog off-leash areas commercially? Yes. CC BY 4.0 allows commercial use, redistribution and derived works as long as the attribution is kept. The attribution string is in this page's side column and inside every file. ### Is this the official source for Dog off-leash areas? No. The publisher is Brisbane City Council, and its page is https://data.brisbane.qld.gov.au/explore/dataset/park-dog-off-leash-areas/. This site republishes the publisher's file without changing its content. The original sits beside every version as source.csv with its SHA-256, so the two can be compared. ### What coordinate system does Dog off-leash areas use? The coordinates are decimal degrees as the publisher's portal serves them, read as WGS84 (EPSG:4326) and published as given. The GeoJSON file uses the same coordinates, which is what GeoJSON expects. ### What is in each row? Each row is one dog off-leash area in a Brisbane City Council park. It gives the location code, the park name and number, the suburb, whether it is fenced and lit, whether it has a small dog enclosure and agility equipment, a point for the area, and its area and perimeter. ### Is the point the whole area? No. The publisher maps each off-leash area as a shape and gives one longitude and latitude for it. Only that point is published here. ## What this site did to the data Cells were typed, headers were renamed to snake_case and the encoding was made UTF-8. Rows were left alone. Nothing is derived. The publisher's file is beside every version as `source.csv`. ## Improve this dataset This page is built from [register/qld-brisbane-dog-off-leash-areas.yaml](https://github.com/National-Digital/publicdata.au/blob/main/register/qld-brisbane-dog-off-leash-areas.yaml) on GitHub, and a fix to it is welcome as a pull request. https://publicdata.au/contribute/ explains how.
