3 Off-Leash Areas

Shoalhaven City Council promotes the benefits of pets and encourages responsible pet ownership through the provision of harmonious and equitable access to parks and open space for dogs and their owners. This guide provides information for pet owners on the location and use requirements of Off-Leash areas in the Shoalhaven Local Government Area. Dogs are required to be “on leash” at all times EXCEPT when in an Off-Leash Area. Dogs are only permitted to be “off-leash” in designated Council managed areas and must be under the control of a competent person at all times. Pet owners also need to be aware of the following: • Restricted breed dogs; dogs declared dangerous or menacing; or nuisance dogs are not permitted in off-leash areas; • Person in charge of the dog must immediately remove the dog’s faeces and properly dispose of them; • A dog must have a collar around its neck and there must be attached to the collar a name tag that shows the name of the dog and the address or telephone number of the owner of the dog; • All off-leash areas are regularly patrolled and all regulations enforced On the spot penalties apply for non-compliance Scan the QR code Information in this document is accurate at the time of printing below with your however may subsequently be updated.

4 Dog Prohibited Areas

Dogs are totally prohibited from entering these areas city wide: • Within 10 metres of any children’s playing apparatus or food preparation/consumption areas in public areas. This does not apply if the food preparation/consumption area is a public thoroughfare and where a 10 metre separation distance is not possible • Public bathing and/or recreation areas where dogs are prohibited • Within the grounds of any child care centre or school without the approval of the person in charge • Shopping areas where dogs are prohibited • Wildlife protection areas

These restrictions apply for the comfort, health and safety of residents and visitors, or for the protection of fauna and flora. See shorebirds page 6.

5 Shorebird Nesting Sites

Between August and April, many threatened shorebirds use the Shoalhaven shoreline to nest and raise their young. These beach nesting birds are some of the most threatened in the world, their habit of nesting on the ground making them especially vulnerable. They may even abandon their nest simply because dogs are in close proximity. With care, you and your dog can have a huge impact on their survival. • Share the shoreline by respecting ‘Dog Prohibited’ beach zones, designated to protect nesting sites of vulnerable shorebirds • Look out for temporary signs that alert you to the presence of nesting birds or chicks • Keep your dog on a leash on permitted beaches. Beach nesting birds & chicks perceive unleashed dogs as a great threat. Even if your dog isn’t the type to chase, the birds don’t know that! • If you see little birds running swiftly along the beach or hear the larger birds calling out, please give these birds space. If it is spring or summer, chances are they have a nest or chicks nearby • Disturbance to these birds can be lethal, the perceived threat of unleashed dogs causing them to leave the eggs or hide the chicks for dangerously long periods.
