Look for the signposts

Off leash dog areas are clearly signposted and describe where dogs may be exercised on and off leash. Dogs must be kept on a leash at all times when they are not in a designated leash free area.

Dog walkers are reminded that even when a dog is off leash it must remain under effective control at all times and must not become a nuisance or impact on the enjoyment of other park users.

Where dogs can't go

Dogs are not permitted in the following places, even if they're on a leash:

  • Council's beaches
  • rock pools
  • schools and pre-schools
  • children's playgrounds
  • shopping centres
  • playing surfaces of sports fields

Letting your dog onto a beach or rock pool is illegal and can attract fines.

Pick up your dog poop

The law requires that you must dispose of dog poo in a suitable manner. For your convenience, Council has provided dog litter bins so you can dispose of your dog's poo. Penalties apply for not immediately removing dog poo from a public place.

Penalties

Penalties apply for failing to remove dog poo and for allowing a dog to be unleashed outside of a leash free dog exercise area.
