Dog friendly areas

We have many dog-friendly areas where you can exercise your dog off-leash and on leash. These include dedicated dog parks and dog friendly beaches. Use the map below to see where you can and can't take your dog.

Our Dogs in Public Open Spaces Policy provides safe and responsible areas for dog exercise and socialisation while balancing environmental protection and aligning with planning guidelines.

When you are out and about with your dog, please remember your responsibilities:

Keep your dog on their leash unless you are in an off-leash area
Always supervise your dog and keep it under your control at all times
Please pick up your dog’s poo in the interests of health and safety
Don’t bring your dog within 10 metres of a children’s playground
