Always check signage before you unleash your pet. If you can’t find a sign giving permission then the default setting is always “Dog on Leash At All Times”.

Owners must maintain effective control of your dog when off lead. Effective control means:

fees at the reduced rates. Sterlisation proof can be given through a Veterinary Surgeons Certificate or a statutory declaration by the owner. If you sterilize your dog after paying the full fee, a partial refund will occur.
