control areas


Photo by Stuart CarlessCouncil recognises the important role companion animals play in our society. As such Council provides 10 leash free areas in the Shire where dog owners can responsibly exercise their dogs off leash.

In achieving a balance between dog owners and other members of the community, there are also areas in the Shire where prohibitions are in place. Dog owners should keep their dogs from these prohibited areas.

At all times dog owners and general community members alike should respect each other and help ensure that the enjoyment of companion animals is not to the detriment of our neighbours or the environment.

 

summary

Please refer to maps for more detailed information regarding the exact location and extent of leash free areas in the Bega Valley Shire.
