Dog walking and parks

You need to control your dog whenever you leave home. This helps to protect people, your pet, and other animals.

Dog-friendly parks

There are 4 local dog-friendly parks at:

These parks have fully fenced, off-lead exercise areas with park benches, dog waste bins and drinking fountains with attached dog bowls.

Cleaning up after your dog

  • We provides emergency dog waste bags in high-use locations (always bring your own bags).
  • Dog bag dispensers are regularly serviced (typically twice per week).
  • Dispensers are not refilled by request: to ensure you are not caught out when a dispenser is empty, always carry your own bag.
  • Dog waste can go in any general rubbish bin (red lid) in our parks and reserves.
  • Dog waste cannot go in a food and organics (green lid) or recycling (yellow lid) bin.
  • If there are no public bins nearby, take the bagged waste home with you and dispose of it in your household rubbish bin.
  • All fixed public bins can be used for dog waste.
  • Remember, dog waste can spread disease and contaminate our waterways.
