Dog Exercise Areas

We encourage responsible dog ownership so that people and dogs can safely co-exist within our community. This means everyone can enjoy our beautiful beaches, parks and open spaces.  

Dogs in the Byron Shire must be "on-lead" at all times EXCEPT when in an "off-lead" area. Dogs must not enter a "prohibited" area.

Off-lead etiquette

  • Dog owners must ensure their dog is under effective voice control at all times and does not become a nuisance or impede on the enjoyment of other users of the area.
  • Dog owners must clean up and properly dispose their dog's faeces.
  • Remove your dog if it becomes anxious, aggressive or annoys other dogs or people and seek professional dog behavioural advice.
  • Do not socialise your dog with other dogs if they are showing signs of illness
  • Ensure your dog’s vaccinations and worming treatments are up-to-date.
