On Lead & Off Lead Areas

On Lead Areas

All dogs must be on a chain, cord or leash not exceeding 2 metres in length in all public places other than a park or reserve.

Dogs need to be on a lead while being walked on a footpath or road on a chain, cord or leash not exceeding 2 metres in length. This includes road related areas, such as the median strip area of Alexandra Avenue, Rose Park.

The following areas of Local Government Land are dog on lead areas:

• All public playgrounds and land within 10 metres of public playgrounds (excluding Dog Free areas).

• All land within fenced areas associated with public playgrounds (excluding Dog Free areas).

• All land within 20 metres of the Tusmore wading pool.

• All land on and within 10 metres of organised sporting ovals, pitches, courts and fields (unenclosed) during such time as there is organised sport being carried out and during such time as there is organised training for sports being carried out.

Off Lead Areas

All council’s parks and reserves are off lead areas but dogs must be exercised under effective control as per the Dog and Cat Management Act 1995.

The dog(s) must respond to the owner's commands, be in close proximity to the owner and the owner must be able to see the dog at all times.

Council has a designated enclosed dog park on Conyngham Street, Glenside.
