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.
