Living and loving the Tweed

Where can I walk my dog? Tweed Coast beaches

Prohibited areas – No dogs allowed at any time.

Off-leash areas – Access to dunal area is prohibited.

All other areas your dog must be on a leash – This includes adjoining parks and walkways to the beach. Dogs must be leashed prior to entering and upon leaving a leash-free area.

These regulations are put in place to allow you and your dog to enjoy our beaches while still protecting wildlife and endangered species, such as Beach Stone-curlews which are critically endangered in NSW.

Beach-nesting birds view people and pets as a threat to their nests and young, and will react defensively when humans or dogs are in the vicinity. When adult birds are defending their nests, eggs and chicks are unprotected from the hot sun or predators and embryos in eggs can die if they are unattended for too long.

Refer to www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/beachnestingbirds

The following rules apply while in a designated off-leash area, (these areas are patrolled and penalties apply for non compliance):

• Dog owners must have a leash with them at all times.

• All dogs are to be accompanied and supervised.

• All dogs in the area must be able to be controlled without a leash ie under effective control. This means the dog will come back to its handler if called.

• Dogs that are declared dangerous, menacing or restricted by Council are not allowed to use any designated off-leash area.

• Dog owners/controllers must remove and responsibly dispose of all dog faeces that may be deposited by the dog under their control.

For more information visit www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/WalkMyDog Beach Stone-curlew chick at Cudgera Creek Park, Hastings Point.

Dogs must be on a lead at all times in public places, unless in a designated ‘off-leash’ area.

All dogs in New South Wales must be on a leash when in a public place

unless in a designated off-leash area.

Council has developed a handy new online mapping tool which shows leash free areas, zones where dogs are required to be on a lead and areas where dogs are prohibited. While these zones have been in place for some time, this new tool highlights the location of the zones and the points where they start and finish.

To view the online mapping tool, visit www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/WalkMyDog

Providing designated off-leash, on-leash and dog prohibited areas is part of Tweed Shire Council’s commitment to protect and enhance the Tweed’s internationally significant environment.
