Off-leash and prohibited areas

All dogs must be kept on a leash when in public areas, unless in a designated off-leash area [PDF 245KB] where they may be exercised without restraint.

The following rules apply when using off-leash areas on the Sunshine Coast:
Dogs must be within close proximity of the owner and be responsive to their commands.
Dogs must not interfere with any other recreational users.
Declared dangerous dogs are prohibited in off-leash areas.
Dog faeces must be removed and disposed of properly.
Dogs are not allowed within children's playground areas or picnic/barbeque areas.

Council has also specified certain areas where all dogs are prohibited due to the sensitivity of the area.
