Prohibited areas

Under council's Local Law No. 2 (Animal Management) 2011, dogs are prohibited in the following areas:

national parks
beaches (unless there are signs that say dogs can be exercised or are allowed there at certain times of the day)
all bathing reserves, unless otherwise signed
within five metres of a children’s playground or BBQ facilities
any areas specifically signed to exclude animals.

Council regulations also specify areas prohibiting dogs due to the sensitivity of the area.
