DOGS IN PUBLIC SPACES

Dogs are an integral part of Australian family life. Owning and caring for a dog comes with responsibilities to ensure your pet and other people remain safe and content.

WANDERING OR STRAY DOGS

If you happen to find a stray dog and you take the dog into your custody, you have a responsibility to return the dog to its owner (if you know who the owner is), contact Council or take it to a vet. By law, a member of the community can only hold a stray dog for a maximum of 48 hours. Council can only pick up dogs during business hours. If you find a stray dog outside business hours, you can either keep it overnight or take it to an animal holding facility, such as a vet. If you see an aggressive dog, do not approach it.

EXERCISE

Exercise is an important way of life not only for people but for dogs. However, taking your dog into public places comes with a great responsibility. Council recognises that off-leash exercise is something highly desired by dog owners. It has responded to this request by providing several free run areas within parks scattered throughout the Shire. Free run zones are designated by a series of bollards with signs clearly delineating the free run area. Some free run areas may have time restrictions in place to protect the amenity of adjoining residences. OFF LEASH AREAS Dog owners are required to make themselves familiar with the regulations detailed by signage at the designated off-lease areas.
