In all other areas of town, dogs are to be kept on leads when in a public place.

There are certain areas that dogs are prohibited at all times.

These include:

1. Schools;
2. Children play areas;
3. Public swimming pools;
4. Areas where food is served or prepared; or
5. Where signs indicate that dogs are prohibited.

When in a public place, the person in charge of the animal is responsible for the removal of faeces that are deposited by their animal. A common way of removal is for the person in charge to carry a plastic shopping bag. You then collect the faeces in the bag and throw it in one of the numerous bins that are provided by Council. On the spot fines apply for breaches.
