Consultation period: 04-Nov-2026 12:00AM until 13-Dec-2026 12:00AM

Council is reviewing dog access areas across the region and wants to hear from the community.

These spaces play an important role in supporting responsible pet ownership, exercise and social interaction, and this review will help ensure dog off-leash areas continue to meet the needs of the community while balancing the safety and enjoyment of all park and beach users.

Feedback closes on 13 December 2026.
